I’ll admit it, I’m not the world’s biggest Foo Fighters fan. This isn’t to say I don’t respect the hell out of Dave and everyone who has ever been in the band, all the way to new drummer Josh Freese. Dave might be the most talented musician/writer of our generation. Most of it just doesn’t move me. There’s usually one song on each record I love, otherwise, I can do without.

Except, The Colour and the Shape. I love this record from first note to last and I have since it came out on May 20, 1997.

The Art of the Theft: Why Your Favorite Artist is Unoriginal and Why It Doesn’t Matter

The same can be said about music. The Vandals are not as good as Franz Liszt, but I like them both for different reasons. That’s okay. And it’s okay if you find out your favorite artist “borrowed” something from a song they liked. It doesn’t make them less-than. In fact, it might make them greater-than, because if you were obsessed with making music that no one had ever made before, you’d probably never get out of your bedroom. The key is finding a slightly different way of doing it, by combining these influences. Purity is a myth.
