I have fallen in love with Dillinger Four. Certainly...this is long overdue when one looks at my musical choices...D4 seems to be a gimme, a shoe-in, a mulligan (any more golf-references???)
But the reason is....D4 makes my belly burn. Its amazing because when one looks at these individuals, you, essentially, see crap slinging drunks who sling out a few words sometimes and bust a few chords together, but when you hear what they are saying....you want to do something. I believe in the words they say....which sometimes creates conflicting feelings....
However...this is the point...my brother has on his facebook page a quote from Walt Whitman, where, Whitman says something along the lines of "I contradict myself? Fine then, I do, I contain multitudes." I like this quote. Because of my faith and what I believe in, people will find it quick to point out that D4 are absolutely anti-Christian, or anti-religion. I think that its more so they are anti-traditional thought and procedures. Which is fine with me. So am I. I believe you always question and push and try to discover faith. And if you don't want to then that is fine!
So I love D4 I love what they believe in but I believe in the Christ and all He is. Is that a true contradiction? Actually its not...but thats a whole other slew of things...
