The political right, cognitive dissonance, and music appreciation. How is one able to hold such odious views, yet appreciate good music that obviously has indelible ties to leftist politics, or at the very least is appreciated by a community of which they want no part of admission. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit. Not saying they out here listening to Spray Paint, but are they? I'm sure there are an awful lot of conservative Gen Xers who know how to find quality music. I just don't get how one can like music that espouses a viewpoint yet live one's life counter to that point.

Sounds a lot like you are dealing with my sister.

I don't always deal with my sister, but when I do, I prefer to throw my phone.

Not trying to sound ageist, but I think it is generational although I do have one friend around my age who communicates like this. So annoying. Take a minute, gather your thoughts, and put them all in one message. Use paragraphs if you like.

I don't necessarily think it has much to do with age, though that could be part of it.

My sister is 52 and as a computer scientist she has the capability of typing (on a keyboard or a phone) much faster than she can fully process a thought.

I am sometimes guilty of this as well; the only difference being that I absolutely hate my phone and try to use it as little as possible.

I saw Mavis Staples perform last night at a local park. During one song (My Country), she started talking about racism, voting rights, mass shootings, gun control, etc. I was sitting on a bench in the back of the park and saw a few dozen Boomers storm off while yelling at her and flipping her off. How do you not know what a 83 year old artist is all about? Also, lol at their display, no one within 20 feet could see or hear them. Fucking idiots.

Some dude complimented my Swans shirt, so not everyone there was lame.
