**** I've been gone quite a long time. However I'm still breathing though it's touch and go. Don't expect me to answer or check in much. ****

Welcome to the junkdrawer that is my brain! I know something about many things, and I if I don't know it, I admit that I don't know. That I am constantly finding things I know nothing about and correcting that ignorance keeps me busy and happy. More junk for the drawer.

I love and have experience with many types of animals, including the human. I don't offend easy and I am generally cynical and a smart-butt. I love to drive, read, work on the computer and I spend WAY too much time watching Anime and bidding on ebay.

My friends and I are trying to get this one boy from my classical music class to start to appreciate rock music and rap music, pop music etc. He isn't responding to most of it and is giving answers to rap music like, "You don't know what he's saying!!" Is there an easy way to introduce him to this type of music?

I've always adored classical music. But I love may other types of music too. The only way he'll come to appriciate a new kind of is if he wants to spend the time to emerce himself in it. If he takes the same kind of care listening to a new type of music that he does classical, he will find something he likes. He won't like everything, and I personally have TRIED to like mainstream country for my parents' sake and still hate it, and lite jazz (ugg). Tell him he needs to learn to separate the layers of the music he is listing to the same way he would a classical piece. Just half listening will accomplish nothing. The surface of music is not where he will find the things he needs to develop a true opinion. I can think of no better way to explain it, but maybe he'll understand.
