Assignment 6 - Trip Church

Right now music is on my mind. I really love music - whether it be listening, playing, or creating - it is a huge part of my life.  Right now I'm listening to a Red Hot Chili Peppers greatest hits collection.  When that's over, I'll probably listen to Rush, or Led Zeppelin, or Smashing Pumpkins, or countless other bands that i enjoy.  Rock has always been my favorite genre, It's what I grew up listening to, and what I can always fall back on to comfort me.  I've learned to appreciate jazz lately, it's never my first choice for songs to listen to, but jazz is often quite complex and demanding for the musicians, so I really enjoy listening to that, and playing it as well.  I listen to rap occasionally, usually only if a friend is playing it.  I used to hate rap but now I've gotten to the point where I don't really mind it, although I still don't choose that to listen to, myself.  The only music I just straight up don't like to listen to is country.  Maybe I'm stereotyping the genre, but all the songs seem to be compromised of extremely simple istrumental parts, along  with cliche vocals about booze and rodeos and women.  But then again, if you like country music, more power to you.
