This picture is representative to me about how I feel when I attend a rock show. How the simultanious release of music and frustration with a band and hundreds of people can be the most wonderful think in the world. At least to me. I read this passage in a book that tries to explain to the lamen how to "listen to" music, and it said that if you lose yourself in the music you lose the ability to be an active listener. I completely disagree with that statement, because if you are not moved my the music you lose just as much if not more than when you are intently listening and identifying with a song. Really, a Wilco show was the first time I really lost myself like that in a concert, it was so strange and comforting. It makes me wonder if that's what church is supposed to feel like.
Okay, I gotta go to class. I will write more on this later.
