I am a very huge music fan particularly alternative music. One of my favourite musicians is Matthew Good, his music really speaks to me. He says things that I think but never say because most the people around me don’t think like that. In his music he talks about how tv and media corrupts us as a society. I have reading some memoirs that he wrote called porno safari it is quite humorous to read because he say very simple things that are really true. I learned that Matthew Good has bipolar disorder, and most people with that have disorders like that they become angry and sad but he uses his disorder to help him let out the feelings he has inside of him. I have always found it interesting how people with mental disorders can say things really dead on. Take Charles Manson for example he had a lot of ideas about family and fellowship, I do agree with some of the things he said minus the drugs and murders. It may be unpopular to talk about someone like that who is responsible for brutal murders but sometimes bad people weren’t always bad and they did have good ideas. Even Hitler wasn’t a cold hard evil dictator he had a sense of humor he played practical jokes and whistled even though he condemned millions of jews to death he had a lot of good things to offer humanity such as innovation in learning about the human body. Even Anne Frank who died by the nazi’s hand believed that no matter how deep down everyone has a good heart and I try to find the good in everyone. In my short 21 years of life I have met a lot of very interesting people when in highschool I used to work until late in the evening and would take the bus home at midnight and on the weekends there were a lot of drunk and homeless people who talked to me. Some of them had some very interesting ideas on life so that just goes to show that no matter where the person comes from they are still good people.
