Was it just my imagination?

Or was it the eye of the beholder?

Ode to Dolores

Dolores means ‘pain’ in Spanish. A double pain. ‘Dolores’ is plural for ‘pain’. Pain is always plural. As if one pain wasn’t enough. Dolores was given ‘pains’. Pain is always plural, just like empathy. Empathy is to feel somebody’s pain(s). Empathy is always plural. Dolores was always We. We feel you. We miss you already. We pain with you. We pain(s).

We. - Can we go back to when we were young, happy and free and nobody cared?

Hopefully the debate about ‘nu-metal’ and the hidden racism behind it is finally over.

It's not a secret that since Rock & Roll became a white-skin-only genre rockstars have seen non-traditional instruments-music like Hip-Hop, Pop music or EDM like a piece of shit, something to look down to. Rockism, 'Disco Sucks' and 'selling out' have been part of that strategy.

The reason behind the backlash about nu-metal was not only about taste but a long history of white musical conservatism towards other genres from different backgrounds. Rock and Hip-Hop purists -not all-, conservative and alienated fans, classic-guitar-based-virtuosity-driven culture, ignorants and music industry closed-minded executives are to blame for bullshitting a genre that was rich, diverse, intense, inclusive and invite people from other genres tastes to crossover traditional lines, just as Aerosmith and Run DMC, Public Enemy and Anthrax, and the former and Chemical Brothers did before. Kiss my ass Gene Simmons!

[Kim Burrell:] Do I find it so hard When I know in my heart I'm letting you down everyday Letting you down everyday Why do I keep on running away?

[Jay-Z:] Look, I apologize, often womanize Took for my child to be born See through a woman's eyes Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles Took me too long for this song I don't deserve you, I harass you out in Paris "Please come back to Rome" You make it home We talked for hours when you were on tour "Please pick up the phone, pick up the phone" Said: "Don't embarrass me," instead of "Be mine" That was my proposal for us to go steady That was your 21st birthday, you mature faster than me I wasn't ready, so I apologize I've seen the innocence leave your eyes I still mourn this death, I apologize for all the stillborns 'Cause I wasn't present, your body wouldn't accept it I apologize to all the woman whom I Toyed with you emotions because I was emotionless I apologize 'cause at your best you are love And because I fall short of what I say I'm all about Your eyes leave with the soul that your body once housed And you stare blankly into space Thinkin' of all the time you wasted in on all this basic shit So I apologize
