In Green: he means Josef K obviously, who is using Pet_Sounds' old avatar, which was of BJ. But we all knew that of course.
In Red, that's an incredibly arrogant statement, though we're getting used to those from you. You might as well say anyone who doesn't listen to Dylan, Springsteen or Waits is no music lover, and yet many don't, and still are.
Also, what constitutes a music lover in your view? I'm interested....
This is one major song...
There is a thin line between arrogance and confidence, but for someone of good character (such as myself) that line will never be too blurry. I'm not an arrogant person, just self-confident. I never sell myself short. In fact, I never sell myself out at all. I never would. Being a genuine music lover takes the same things as being a genuinely honest person, a person of integrity. Don't follow the crowd and don't base what you believe on the last thing that you heard. That's one of the basis for life, whether you're listening to music or doing anything else. It means being a person of depth and substance, as anything would, if you want to be a person of principle. That's a huge part of what it takes to be an honest person who always tries hard to do the right thing. I'm a person of deep, clear and far vision. That's not big talk, that's just the truth. I know my value. I know my worth. Many people do not, and that's sad and shameful for them. But that's not my problem. Btw, I love that vid you just posted. I've heard it many times. It's kind of interesting listening to the opening of that song and thinking, "Am I listening to 'Good Night Saigon' or 'One' from Metallica? Either way, though the music styles are very different, they bring about the same message: wars should never be fought unless it's absolutely necessary. Because the people we would have to send to fight those wars would appreciate it if we didn't send them there without just cause. Two wars were fought by this country in the Middle East for ten years at the same time, at least one of which was based purely on misinformation and lies. And it cost us dearly. Probably best to not make the same stupid mistakes again. We have a long history of war in this country. And this country keeps getting into it with any country they can find a squabble with. Is that really a mistake, or just the recent rulers of this country trying to make a quick buck? I feel the latter is closer to the truth than anything else.
