There's very few bands I don't care for but here's one of them.

I hope their tour is fantastic and I'm sure they are likely great folks... This isn't personal....
I've been waiting my entire life for that epiphany moment... but it's never come.
For the life of me, I have no idea what everybody else sees in this band at all. This is not something that eludes me easily, as this is actually one of my fortes... understanding why certain band appeals to the "masses". And I'd rather not play upon any of those criteria personally. I don't really think of music like a game, but I understand the marketing aspects perfectly too, because I ran a marketing department at a mortgage company.
So....
What do you like about them and why do they make your soul jiggle ???
I want to know. It's not like I don't like them as individuals and it's not like I don't have the greatest and utmost respect for a fantastic and very well admired career. It's not like I don't appreciate the wonderful artists working together making music or anything in those regards, because it is perhaps the life I know finest myself.
Perhaps I just got burnt out growing up on the radio and hearing these songs just ridiculous amounts of time everyday. I'm not one for repetition, I bore easily, I move along quickly and I can disassociate and forget as a coping mechanism so it's easy to just throw this music to the wind.
I hate to be hypercritical but part of it's my nature and the other part of it is I'm analytical and I just can't understand something I've got to keep picking it apart so I'm just hoping somebody else might tell me...
For example,
Will you see you idiot, Steve, LOL... While you were busy doing things you shouldn't have, other people were falling in love and learning how to live and listening to this music so therefore it benchmarks a part of their lives that tugs at the heartstrings because it makes them relive wonderful beautiful memories that maybe you don't have.
Now that sounds like something I would say to you, the a****** that I like to be most of the times, but that same guy that won't waste a word with sugar coating, unless I think you're a pussy and I can't handle it.
You know what they say about people that cuss? They're trustworthy. But you got to wonder, who are they? The NAVY ? The Meteorologists? Shit, maybe it's Cheap Trick !!!
It would be another cheap trick on me !!!
Look, in my last life I was no angel, but I was no devil either. I'm still I am a very imperfect soul but I'm not sure if I'm the same soul, and I never thought I would say that. And what I mean there's that I'm a better soul.
I'm brutally honest about myself and about others selves with them, and I want to learn and become a better and better person as I always have. I absolutely refuse to let my layering mistakes and lack of self-control at times and pure stupidity rule over the better promises of life, once you learn how to live.
Not everybody is born knowing how to fly.
What in the heck ever happened to tolerance question marks to assistance and love. Two a real smackdown but with caring? thank God I had a very very stable father and an incredible Big Brother. They kept me super tough and on my toes and always let me know somebody was watching over me, or else...
I can be pretty mischievous, and I'm pretty God damn sharp, and I know how to take shortcuts for even create them and I can spot shortcomings in systems and and people and so I could either be the biggest criminal or I could be the best at security... Luckily that's not up to you, and fortunately I've chosen well, above and over temptation.
I don't know how I could be much more honest than that but this is the importance of having a great role model. Not a good role model. Definitely not a poor role model.
If you want to play a cheap trick, play The disappearing father act. If that felt like a slap in the face, turn around and start making some amends and learn how to swallow your pride. If you need somebody to talk to, talk to me.
I always thought how nice it would be to be Jesus. I always thought how nice it would be to live forever and experience everything and understand how it felt to walk in everyone's shoes. It hurts a lot so far. I'm not delusional. I know I'm Not Jesus. He is just a man from the past I deeply admire. I probably more deeply admire him for the way people viewed him, more likely above and over the actual life that he lived, which still would simply have been absolutely amazing without a doubt and certainly far more human than has ever been recorded because to record normal things would not make sense from a historical perspective, as they would be expected oh, I have ever received you now think that he always walked on water.
There's no miracle if nobody's watching. There's no miracle if there's no expectation of a miracle.
I will be the flame ?
Maybe I'm finally starting to teach myself because I hit my head hard enough to open my mind up some more.
You ever fall down so hard you knock your body out of your body?
Your soul ever depart and come back a soul like it had been reincarnated, but allowed to re-enter the same exact time and body it was in last time?
You just don't even wants to know how crazy it gets up inside of my head after my life's experiences.
I'm so very thankful for life. I'm so very thankful for learning. I'm so very deeply thankful for the most beautiful family anybody could ever be blessed with. I am so very thankful for the god of my understanding, just to like each one of you has if you believe in him or not. I am so very deeply thankful for salvation. Salvation may start as an inner choice but it is often dependent on everybody around you.
I felt like I looked down and saw two sets of footprints on the beach. I was walking side-by-side with God my best friend. Then when things got really really tough I looked down and I saw more footprints than humanly imaginable because that's when you all of the world carried me.
You are all the flame.
I'm just "the Steve". Lol
Laughter and prevention over disease, is easily worth a pound of weed.
I wanted to end on a high note of new artistic idiomatic expression , so make that an G ! I'm so glad they don't issue licenses for becoming an artist.
So ... Enlighten me, be the flame!
... And what do you know about this f****** band?
Can you really make me like them ???
I want you, to want me.
