The other night Michy, our adorable Austrian friend, took us out! We went to near the Red Light district (haha) and had a few beers at a neat little bar under a bridge playing some crazy trance music or something. We sat and watched a few girls and the occasional guy get up and just kinda dance crazily to the music. Always eyes closed, head down, arms swirling around and around. Pretty entertaining.
We moved on after about an hour to the Chelsea. It was a fun club with lots of music, most alternative like the Killers, and definitely all American. We got up and danced for at least 2 hours. I had the time of my life! It's so much more fun to jump and dance around to this kind of music than the rap and stuff they always play at home. Around 3am I joined the first party to leave and on the way out received a rather nasty cigarette burn :( Stupid smoking in clubs people. After hunting down night buses, we made it home just as the sky was lightening.

Alternative music lacks the innovative lyricism that makes rap music the modern day beacon of culture and art.
For example:
"I'm hot cause i'm fly, you ain't cause you not."
and,
"I know I got to be right, now, cause I can't get much wronger".
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovksy, Stravinsky, Louis Armstrong, The Beatles, Elton John, all did wonderful things for music, but none of them so profoundly changed music as P. Diddy, with his onslaught of hits such as "Mo Money Mo Problems".
And lets not forget other giants of the industry: Vanilla Ice, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Coolio, Master P, Juvenile, Chingy, 50 Cent, and last (but certainly not least), The Ying Yang Twins.
We are lucky to have lived to see such times, Liz. A cultural revolution is upon us! How dare you forsake your good fortune! There are starving children in Africa who would kill to hear just 15 seconds of Lil' Wayne's "Lollipop".
Liz, I wrote out a long post for you, but then it asked me to log in, and delete the whole thing.
The general concept was how rap was a cultural revolution and you should not forsake your good fortune, living in such wondrous times.
