Does angry, dark music ever make you feel better?

vokey9472 @vokey9472 (1486) • United States 12 May 07

I was just wondering if anyone else feels better after listening to really dark, angry music. For instance, if I am feeling really stressed out about something listening to Marilyn Manson always makes me feel better. I don't know...

tendernesstour I definitely have a deep appreciation for the therapeutic aspects of angry, dark music. Specifically, I listen to angry, dark music when I'm angry, depressed, sad, frustrated or simply struggling to express something deep inside. A prime example of...

cinz20 @cinz20 (63) • Philippines 25 Mar 07

Can you tell me why and also what kind of music you like?

tendernesstour My long-standing favorite singer is John Hiatt. Hiatt tends to play mostly in the areas of folk rock/rock, however, his inability to be pegged is part of why he's had difficulty attaining sales success. He's a widely respected songwriter, whose music and songs...

How Many People Still Read Poetry And Who's Your Favorite Poet?

browneyedgirl @browneyedgirl (1264) • United States 20 Mar 07

I write poetry and love to read it. But I don't think it is read as much as in the old days. Do you read poetry? And if you do, who's your favorite poet? I don't think I really can say I have a favorite because I've enjoyed...

tendernesstour I definitely still read poetry. My longstanding favorite poet is Charles Bukowski, and my favorite collection of his is "Love is a Dog from Hell." I'm also a fan of the beat poets, Etheridge Knight and some of the other African-American poets.

tendernesstour As an adult living with spina bifida, scoliosis has long been part of my life. While I've not yet required surgery, I think that's more because spina bifida simply gives someone higher priority for surgery (I've had over 50 surgeries in my life). I fail to...

cayennepepper @cayennepepper (266) • United States 16 Mar 07

When I was a teen I walked in three walk-a-thons. I walked 20 miles each time to help raise money. It was hard work and my feet were swollen all night each time, but it was worth it and I helped to raise a lot of money. I am glad...

Do you give money to beggars?

paidmuse @paidmuse (30) • Denmark 18 Mar 07

Do you ever give money to people begging in the streets? I have done it a couple of times but I will usually rather help the organisations instead of a single individual.

tendernesstour This is a loaded question for me. Have I ever? Of course, though I will usually find a way to help them with their "need" rather than just hand over money. For example, if someone says "I'm hungry. Can you spare a buck or two?" then I may very well...

tendernesstour This happens to me periodically. I see a lot of movies as I run a film review website and, periodically, I see really unknown films or I finally get around to seeing a film that has been out for awhile. One of the funnier recent times for this happening was...
