So, I have one of the worst migraines that I have ever had. This is almost as bad as the ones I had as a kid. Now my migraines are different than yours 'cause I can listen to music when I have them. Go figure.
So I'm laying in bed and I put on the Sweet Baby James record that Jon has and I listen to the entire record straight through like in the olden-days. This is the first blurb. If you haven't listened to that record latley, than you should set some time aside and just listen to the entire album straight through. It is one of the best records and I just realized that.
Second, I want to talk about Dave Matthews and his new album. This is one of my favorite albums and I think the band's best. I just listened to the new song Funny the Way It Is and i have some thoughts to share. First, Carter Beuford is the best drummer and this song proves that. Second, this is one of the songs on the record that is inspired by Leroi Moore (the sax player who died last summer). Dave Matthews shows us a depth of emotion in this particular song in relationship to Leroi. This makes me sad for two reasons. The one is that Dave is not a Christian and therefore everything that he does falls short of the glory of God. The other reason that this makes me sad is because Dave shows a deeper love and respect for Leroi than any Christian artist out there shows love for anything. Christian music is so weak and gutless. Dave steps out on a limb and puts every thing, a normal person would keep in the dark, into the light. There is more raw emotion in his one song than in a christian music store. Period.
