I have a relationship with Jedi Mind Tricks that makes me a little uncomfortable. They sound good. I really like their sound but when you listen to their lyrics it is really awful. Lots of anti-gay, hateful and other stuff that is really not what I am about. I have settled into just listening to the music because it sounds good and ignoring the lyrics but it gets hard. I don’t worry that the music is going to sway me to that viewpoint… I am not that weak willed. Really I just wonder how others deal with music they enjoy the sound of but feel uncomfortable about the meaning behind.

    Van Helen, Motley Crüe, The Scorpions, some Queenryce songs, however it’s spelled. Mostly just a lot of really dumb teenage idiot style misogyny. At least with the scorpions they were only pretending to speak English, so a lot of it could aping lyrics from other English songs without really knowing what it means.
