great
um are you what what type of music do you like
uh i like uh
probably cutting edge rock would be the best way to describe it
oh well then i'm sure we're going to have a lot in common i'm just joking what exactly is cutting edge rock
good deal
cutting edge rock oh i don't know you got your top forty rock which i just can't stand top forty music the stuff you'd see on MTV and VH One and what have you and then there's new music come from we've got a radio station down here that uh
oh really um-hum
started broadcasting about a year ago and they've uh they play music that you just wouldn't hear on any other radio station more like a college it's more like a college station would play
um-hum
um-hum
which we don't have down here but uh
it's just music by different groups it's you know things you wouldn't you wouldn't uh
i see
um-hum
you wouldn't would never be exposed to
is it music that um like you can understand the words to
yeah most of it
oh okay well the the thing that i hate really is music that um
it just seems like instruments playing all at once to five different scores of music do you know what i mean like didn't seem like it was meant what
yeah
kind of noise
it's noise
yeah it's noise it just doesn't seem like it was supposed to be played at the same time together or that someone isn't tuned or whatever
but um i have to admit i do love top forty
and um
although i don't watch MTV i do love that type of music but
i feel like it's the best music that you can sing along to and dance and
well
yeah yeah
and um i'm an aerobics freak so i just uh i love that type of music to do aerobics to and exercise and that sort of thing
do you go out to listen to music a lot
do i go out to listen to music well i go to school and work so i don't get too too many opportunities to uh go out and see a a live band although occasionally
um-hum
don't get much time
um-hum
i'll go downtown they have what they call Deep Ellum down here where a lot of local bands play and i've gone down there a few times
um-hum
do you play any sort of instrument oh
no i'm musically destitute
have no talents
oh don't be silly i used to play the piano and i used to play the guitar but
then when i moved out you don't get to take the piano with you and uh there's no guitar around so i decided just to turn on the radio and that'll be my musical entertainment from now on
right
but we don't get to go i love concerts if i could i would save my money and just go to concerts but
obviously not only is they don't come around Rochester too often but um standing in line for hours on end doesn't really appeal to me either
yeah yeah i used to go i when i first moved to Dallas several years ago i've gone to a few concerts but it just
it just gets to be more of a hassle than it's worth yeah you get a lot of thirteen and fourteen year olds and it's just a crowd of little kids
yeah exactly
i know and then by the time you leave you end up like sitting in your car for an hour just to get out of the parking lot
yeah we usually go down and there's a tower that they have downtown you go down have a couple of drinks and wait for traffic to go away
do you have a good um stadium there or or
it's
it's an indoor arena
oh right what's it called
Reunion
oh Reunion no that's not what i'm thinking of wasn't
there's one there's the Bronco Bowl that's out in Fort Worth though
i don't know what i'm thinking of
Arlington Stadium
oh
there's several big things down in down here most of the most of the concerts are out at uh Reunion Arena
um-hum
um-hum
and it's it's okay the the acoustics could be better but like i say i haven't been down there to a concert since
yeah
jeez i don't remember who i went to see last
well now you have to like the Beatles and Billy Joel you know uh
i like the Beatles some Billy Joel you know back in high school i guess i was a big Billy Joel fan but
um-hum
i've been
sort of grown out of that
well you know i listen to it but i won't go buy it
um-hum
i've i've like i've been exposed to so many new and different bands lately just through this new radio station that
um-hum
i realize there's just a lot of a lot of things i've i never would have heard or even thought of looking at or listening to
like who are some of those bands what are they called
and
oh i'm trying to think of a good example one that won't get me into too much trouble
who won't get you in too much trouble
um
yeah
be a bad example but like for example the Violent Violent Femmes they've been around for a while and they've just started playing some new music of theirs and it made me go out and buy some and listen to it i won't say i like the whole album really but uh
um-hum
um-hum
um-hum
well you know i was just reading the newspaper and um there's this big thing on Madonna's new movie Truth of Dare have you heard about that
um-hum
yeah i was reading an article about that yesterday
and um well i haven't seen the movie but obviously it looks extremely risque and um
they were just mentioning some figures that she's made like in the past year she made thirty nine million dollars and over the past couple of years it's totaled almost two hundred million dollars
and i mean as much as i like top forty i don't like Madonna i don't like her and i don't like her music and um i just don't like anything about her actually
the only thing i like about Madonna is i think if if i was given a ticket to see her perform i think she'd be entertaining to see perform
um-hum
probably yeah
but i don't i don't really care for her music there's one or two songs that i like you know for a while until they overplayed them to death but uh i've never been a big Madonna fan
um-hum right exactly
um-hum
but i do think if someone gave me a ticket it'd be a really entertaining show
yeah that's true
i wouldn't go stand in line or sleep overnight at the
but i know oh God no but to think that she's able to make that much money
yeah
just think of i mean that is what our kids are growing up with right now you know that they that they were talking about how Madonna is becoming a role model for kids
that's crazy
and uh boy it's really scary
i don't know but i guess i i still go back to the old faithfuls like James Taylor and if i could if i had my choice to sit and listen to um
oh i don't know some new group of today or just uh
put on a tape of i don't know
Carly Simon or whatever that's probably what i would stick to
although i do have uh an unending love for fifties music which you probably detest
some no there's some my parents you know i used to listen to the stuff they listen to you know the Guess Who and what have you i've got some of that uh i don't i don't
um-hum
um-hum
i won't say i make tapes to listen to in my car but occasionally i put on LCD and crank it up because i you know stuff i grew up with
um-hum
um-hum yeah
listening to so
um-hum
i'm i've got pretty broad musical tastes i don't really care for gospel and i'm not a big country fan but
me either
other than that i'll listen to just about anything
yeah do you have uh any sort of collection are you like uh you know do you go out and buy a bunch of CD's or tapes or
yeah i've got some i've got i don't know about a hundred hundred and fifteen CD's i suppose
do you really
i just i've got a bunch of the albums but i never play them because
CD's have taken over
yeah exactly they really have
we were talking about um how the only way to really destroy a CD is to drill a hole through it that you can microwave them and uh i don't know do whatever really it amazes yeah amazing
yeah
you can scratch them up pretty good they'll still play
but well it was nice talking to you
yes so go out and play in that sun
yeah right and i'll go turn on my James Taylor tape or something all righty take care bye-bye
all right
okay bye
