Where did the love being? Well kids i guess it all started way back in the Ye Olde Countrye (Canada) when i was just a wee lad, maybe, im not really sure when i first heard him. I can say for sure it was my older brothers doing, he's always been a big influence on me and my music taste. Based on that i guess the reasons for my love is three fold, first off being I've been listing to buck for like 5 to 8 years which is a long ass time if you ask me, the second reason i have love is just how much i enjoy his music. There's so much variety in his music, mostly in the people he portrays, like in the song The Craftsman he raps/sings and a shoe shine guy in a train station, In his songs Riverbend 1-7 he sings as a guy living in a house boat along a river with a bunch of crazy neighbors, and in the video below (Shutterbuggin off the CD Situation, which i own, and by own i mean actually paid for, by the way its an awesome fucking CD) he's a pornographer. It just goes on like that, to me all Disturbed songs sound kinda the same, yea i know there all "different" but they all just seem to blend together to me. So much of his music is different, i mean really different, if it wasn't for his voice you'd swear they were all from different artists. Another thing i love is just the one liners like "the sun was shining and we were all stupid" If i ever get around to posting my journals from my year in Israel you'll find that around half of the titles are random samples from buck's songs. So what my favorite song? that's like asking someone whats there favorite word, there's just such a sea of choices you can't really do justice by picking one, so instead i will mention the only Buck 65 song i can't listen to, Its called "ice" and its another narrative. If you can take a moment and listen to it, then maybe you'll understand why i can't. Did i mention we were both from the same city in Canada? well not the same city but same area, i guess that's reason number three, familiarity. I've been reading his blogs, seeing his pictures, listing to his music, and twice (i wish it was more) met him in person, and its all just very very interesting to me. I'm not a stalker or anything (i swear!) but if you really enjoy something whats the harm in trying to know all about it? hummm?? And lets be honest here, the man as style, not like high fashion "look at me im walking around in a dress that's about your yearly salary", no this man as discount shopping point all over. Which of course makes me jealous, skinny who know how to dress can get away with such clothing murder it makes the rest of look like kids on a playground. To end this long ramble i shall quote from Buddy Wakefield (who i first saw at a buck 65 concert) "my town is cute in the ways that we worry about the gays fucking up out family values and the sanctity of marriage, yet we still let out childern watch television shows like Wife Swap, The bachelor, American idolatry and fox new!".
