WOW-im really excited to even get any replies. everyone is so full hearted. i live in indiana. many would boo and hiss, but it isn't a bad place. sure, it's a little narrow and conservative, a little untouched by the world, but so are we all in a way. its beautiful and you can drive 5 miles from my house(downtown) and be in the middle of nowhere. that is an excellent feeling-to know that you are so close to nothing...does that sound sensical. yeah, im aboout the only one interested in the folk and blues scene around here, where the only safe thing to listen to is TRL and Dave Matthews Band, but people tend to like people who stand out. i dont know why more people dont try to be themselves--im sure they would like it. anyway-thanks and keep it comin'.
