I just got around to watching this last night; funny it was when wife and kids were out of town. My question is this: isn’t the edge of any sort of conservationist message dulled by this sort of half-hearted look at irresponsible human behavior? Don’t think I’m very serious about this question, but it sort of nags at me. It’s almost like Stephen Colbert at the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner. WTF? Is that a den of wolves situation for him? Or does it blow the wind out of the sails of people that lean towards taking him seriously in his sarcastic remarks about the president? Perhaps, this is real art – it makes us question our attitudes. Perhaps true art is juxtaposition.

Here’s a link to that Colbert video – http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-869183917758574879&q

Am I the only one that had some thoughts provoked by this film?

it’s a bit wordy and “out there”, but it’s an entertaining read. This book doesn’t tell you what to think, just asks questions.

When Nevermind came out I was listening to Metallica’s black album, Danzig’s self-titled album, Sepultura’s “Arise” and 5-6 different Aerosmith albums. By time In Utero came around I was blissfully lost in the world of christian death metal. I heard “Heart Shaped Box” with a chance listen to the local college radio station; I didn’t even know it was Nirvana.

I didn’t REALLY listen to this album until 1995, I think. Very agressive and abrasive stuff, for the genre it was placed in. Intelligent, artful aggression. Angst perfected perhaps, wtfe. Don’t forget the pop appeal.

Not much of a story.
