Well, this weekend my friend that I met in Australia that is teaching south of me invited and paid for my ticket to see Dream Theater, a progressive metal band from New York.I think the reason why this band got such a warm welcome from Koreans is because of the bands bassist; he was born in America to Korean parents. The thing that I am confused about is that their music is so angry, yet wikipedia suggests that he is a Christian. What's that all about?
It seems strange after reading the wiki on the bassist, that my comment to my friend (after we left the show early) was "If this is a glimpse of hell, I definitely don't want to spend an eternity listening to that music." These guys have been around since the 80's-And I've never heard of them. I am getting old and am going to do the same thing as my parents and say... "How can you listen to that crap!"
In case you're confused, the previous post was sent from my cell phone from the concert. It was around this time that the band did one song that had a chorus taken from one of Marillion's songs, "Sugar Mice." This caused me to actually stand up and get really interested, but then it descended back into inaudible noise.
I apologize if you are a fan, or if you are a member of the band. Please know that not everyone is going to like your music, even if you have Christian influences. I am just getting old and did not enjoy your music and the concert was the first time I ever heard the band so I did not know what I was getting myself into.

so what else are you up to amigo?
Not a whole lot, just waiting for the lunar holiday so I can get out of my house and go south to Busan and get a good look at the ocean. I haven't seen the ocean in a while and it is kinda driving me nuts. I will try to put up a post tonight depending on how late I get back home from dinner and bowling.
Oh, by the way, the lunar holiday is next week.
