"this is gonna be reality, you can never dream it down..."

much to my husbands dismay, i am not political. AT. ALL.

i try. i really do. (thats a lie, i dont.) i even went to ASU with him to watch ron paul speak. i ended up annoyed and bored. you can call it uneducated, uninformed, ignorant, whatever. i'm fine with that. i just choose to not have a "oh woe is me, everything is going to hell" attitude, which seems to be the case amongst most politicians and people that talk politics. its all just too negative for me. i've never thought that politics really effected me. until now.

now. i'm. pissed.

but i'm not sure at who.

this is where my immature selfish childish side is about to raise its head. let me explain.

i LOVE music. i live for music. it gets me through life. makes me happier when i'm happy and gets me through tough times when i'm sad. ...you get the point.

ever since arizona passed SB1070 (the immigration law..dont worry i didnt know it was called that either) many bands have gone on what they are calling "The Sound Strike".

this makes me sad. i dont know if i'm upset with politicians or musicians.. it just makes me....well.... sad. especially when i find out my favorite band of all time - bright eyes - has joined this strike and will NOT be coming to AZ on their tour this summer (colorado here i come!)

so here's my political selfish duties.. (let me preface this by saying- i really dont have an opinion either way on this law. there are definitely pros and cons and i dont know enough about it to try to have an opinion) but can we PLEASE do something about it so my bands will come back to AZ? thank you.

here's a letter conor oberst (the lead singer/creative genius behind bright eyes) wrote to stateside presents (a concert promoter here in the valley) about why he is joining in the strike if you are interested - go HERE.

i'm not saying i agree or disagree, but if you are into that sort of stuff, its interesting.

this is making me hate politics even more.

i just want my music back.
