Music, music, music..I think music rules all that we do, and leads you in any direction you need to be going. It can piss you off, make you cry, bring a smile to your face, make you think about all sorts of shit, and most of all, make you realize that music is a gift we all can give to one another everyday. I think that without music your life can become very drab, very quickly. Spice it up, listen to something you never thought you would have liked. Surprise a friend with a cd of random songs by artists they've never even heard of. Sing in the shower, your car, anywhere. Let music drive you!
