Im fascinated to hear about peoples musical journey. I listen to pretty much everything, as anyone who follows me regularly knows. But it wasnt always that way. When I was 8 my dad gave me a little fm radio boom box. It wasnt much but it gave me a chance to listen to music in my room. The genre that really struck me (and is still with me) was Doo Wop style Classic Rock. Stuff from the late 40s through the early 60s. Oldies Rock stations used to play that kind of stuff. Around 11 I was given a cassette tape by a band Id never heard of called Insane Clown Posse and the music, frankly, shocked me. There were songs about murder, hatred, it was loud, it was nothing like I had ever heard of before. Before long I was listening to anything newer rock, specifically Nu Metal. Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock was big for me in 1998. This led to my love of hip hop that I became almost obsessive with. When I moved back to Mississippi, I became really involved with band and things like that and really fell in love with classical music. Most of my friends were into Country music, so thats how I began exploring that. I learned a lot about classic country music - Hank Sr, Merle Haggard, things like that. Getting into the Wilie Nelson stuff helped me discover Reggae, which helped me find Ska. Im always on the hunt for new kinds of music and artists to enjoy. You can tell a lot about a person by their musical journey. Tell me about yours if you want.
