Will you ever HATE music?

The only time I hated music was when I took 22 mushrooms, blended finely and mixed with grape juice. It rushed into me as the Harmony Rockets (aka Mercury Rev) "Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void" was playing at full blast. It sent me farther over the edge than I ever wanted to go. It was then that I understood that there's nothing cool about the mental problems of Brian Wilson, Syd Barret, Roky Erikson, etc. Of course, this should have been obvious, but I was young and dumb. My friends found me curled up on the back porch of my dead grandmother's house, under a blanket, declaring that music was the work of the devil. They offered to change the music, and I told them to put in Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue", the one with the blue cover. They put in "In A Silent Way" by mistake. Back into the void.....

I eventually got over it, and with the help of CAN, all is well. Have you listened to CAN much? They're good for what ails ya. When I feel stuck with music, I'll usually veer off into a genre that I'm not familiar with, and that will keep things fresh.

Some good advice on here...it definitely seems like a matter of changing your habits in order to combat indifference in general. I mean, music can be as fundamental as life itself just as it can be meaningless, insufferable hipster posturing.

My advice would be to leave the portable music player at home, go to the park on a nice day and just take in the peaceful ambience. Try to get that balance back. And you know, the park's always full of nice people. Works for me.
