my how we've grown

By tuck 13 Aug 2001

i know that opinions can change over time. likely these changes spring from a growth in “maturity” (whatever that word means) or education, or the turning of a page in the silly book of life. along with opinions and thoughts, tastes change as well. the best examples of this for me come from looking at my most revered heavy metal gods as they grow older and their musical styles curb towards pitter-pattering melodic stories reflecting their new paternity, or wrinkling dicks and graying hairs. watch dave mustane try to hang on; look at keith caputos self-labeled spiritual transformation; look at hevy devy (devin townsend) who once wrote a song called Oh My Fucking God which caused me to dig my fingernails into the back of a bus seat in rural china accidentally (while thinking to myself: oh my… fucking… god… this is intensely orgasmic while unknowingly mouthing the words: OH…….. .MY……… FUCK……. ING……GOD along with devin) now singing songs like Unity in which he simply repeats the soothing, graceful, gospel-esque words: Its alllll riiiiiiiiiight ten billion times.

<p>there is a point here&#8230;  ah yes.  somehow, over the past year, my taste, my opinion, my mind-for-sound has not only accepted a once loathed style of music, but has actually embraced it to the point of seeking it out when i can, and identifying it wherever it is.  and (oh my fucking god) hearing it in my head when i sleep at night.  </p>
