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.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Lots of rock songs, even from supposedly family friendly bands like The Beatles, I can’t listen to anymore, because it’s too creepy.

      “She was just seventeen, you know what I mean…” Um, never mind.
