Growing up my influences were mostly what my friends liked and what my family liked. They liked allot of Pop music and what I now call bubblegum, I was always at their mercy. Till one day I got my very own alarm clock radio at the age of 9. From that point on I could decide what I wanted to hear, and that's when I can say without a doubt that my life had gone in an un-cliche way from main of my friends. It all happened around one song in particular, Nirvana's "Come As You Are".

At the time everyone was all hung up on the biggest song of Nirvana's whole career "Smells like teen spirit". Yeah that's a good song, but it didn't hit me like "Come As You Are"... and it didn't help that it was played over and over again day and night. I remember sitting up late at night with the radio pressed to my ear hoping to hear that song come on.

Eventually in 1993 I was able to come up on a tape deck and a Nevermind Cassette. Were I discovered they more songs that really spoke to me "On a Plain" was one of the songs that still gets into my mind. Its probably because at the time I was kinda confused and all about life, being a dumb kid and all, learning my personality that I would have.

To this day "Polly" always struck me as a very dark song. As I understood it being about torturing a young girl, as a kid I liked dark lyrics and being controversial(I think most boys do that, trying to get a rise out of someone). Now looking into the inspiration of the song, it seems sad the real story behind it.

Well given that last little bit of info being a sad, lets get into something lighter like Brokechella happening next weekend. You should all go bring your mothers, your father, your brothers, or who ever to come out and hang. Hell you can actually meet my buddy LEE from the Pinata Hour

So with all that being said I will tell you all again to PASS IT ON and enjoy music
