Domestic Oblivion

opeth

I’ve had a few live music escapades in the past few weeks.  But first…..

Get thee to some live music.  It doesn’t matter what kind, any kind will do, but do your soul a favor and attend something live.  It’s amazing how good live music can make you feel.  Go.  Plan it.  Don’t delay.

So, a few weeks ago I went to The Knitting Factory to see the Swedish death metal band "Opeth".  Yeah, I know.  I wasn’t aware that the Swedes were so instrumental in the death metal scene either, but apparently they are.  I would recommend checking this band out on Pandora, but I’m going to guess that the majority of my readers just really aren’t that into any sort of death metal, let alone the Swedish stuff.

Nor am I into it, for that matter.  In fact, I can’t name one single death metal band.  Not a one.  However, there’s no reason to let a little thing like having no effing clue stop you. 

Here’s what I find fascinating about the whole thing:  people think I’m crazy for going to this show.  I  was talking about how much fun I had and how great the crowd watching was, and all my friends could say was “do  you really like death metal?”.

People!  You don’t have to like it, or even know it for that matter, to try it out!  Go, get outside your box and have some fun!
