Ease of mind = $74,500

Society scares me at times. Walmart was recently sued by a family complaining of a "foul" word on a CD that they sold. The story indicates that this family received $75,000 for "damages" due to their 13 year old daughter hearing the f word in a new Evenescance song. My god folks. It's A WORD. 4 little letters. Not only that, It's within an artistic interpretation. I'm betting their 13 year old daughter is well versed in other things of this nature wayyyyy worse than that 4 letter word. I shouldn't point the finger at America in this situation...because not all degrading society relates to the States...but in this case this story is not shedding a great light on American society. I think in this case the people need to take a step back and take the stick lodged up them, out. My 2 cents

Concert #2

Well.... road trip #2. This time to the historic city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The reason? My favorite band. Why The Hip are my favorite band? Hard to say. I know everyone I talk to just cringes when I say this. To me though...they're one of the hardest working, no-flash bands Canada has produced. They're music is visual and well.....just kicks ass. After saying all of this though, I wasn't sure whether I was going to come over. Now that I'm here I'm glad I did. This will be my 4th time seeing this band...and it's just as much fun as the first time.
