Music is greater than or equal to love*

Posted by Miss Jaime at Wednesday, August 09, 2006
I am in love.

This is why all the other bookshelves laugh at mine. Because she is stacked with books about rock and roll.

Hemingway? Absent. Dickens? Nonexistent. Poe? No. Hell, I don't even have any chick-lit. No shocking pink tales of sassy women and martinis.

All I have is pages and pages about rock and roll and how it will save your soul and deliver you from...nowhere. Rock biographies detailing the lives of Aerosmith and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Studies into the very soul of Springsteen. Tiny tomes combining Zen Buddhism and six string serenades.

Of all these books I love, the one thing I love the most is hearing musicians on musicians. Before they're musicians, before they even pick up an axe or a pair of drum sticks -- they're fans. It makes them a little less mythic and a little more human knowing they have the same heroes and idols as you do. Check out Dave Grohl on Led Zeppelin. You'll see what I mean.

A Nickel's Worth of Free Advice -- check out the following. You'll be a better person for it.

* Title changed for the sole reason that William The Conquerer referred to himself as a mathematician and that's just badass.

For the sole reason that you called yourself a mathematician.

Those damn NBC commercials got to me and I'm all about 'the more you know...' :)

I adore the fact that you're an ass....or maybe I just adore your ass. I haven't quite decided yet...
