Just hung out with the guys from Stone Sour. Their singer Corey Taylor is also the singer for Slipknot. Slipknot is a band with song titles like "PEOPLE = SH*T", and at first glance they are one of the most pesimistic bands ever. They spew vomit, blood and urine on stage.
Corey's song with Stone Sour, "Bother" is proof that the pesimistic generation has intelligence and are concerned with finding truth and love. He will sing it solo on "The Tongith Show with Jay Leno" Thursday night backed by only a string quartet. I encourage anyone trying to find a glimpse of hope in a generation that they can't quite understand to watch his performance.
Just a thought based on a guy I spent time with today.
