I have a confession to make. My wife has been aware of this for several years, but I think the time has come for my to come clean and announce this to the world, as difficult as it may be.
I like musical soundtracks.
I know, I know. They are usually trite with little to no redeeming musical value, but I like them. And I have a theory about that. Most songs are all about the music or the melody or a particular idea or emotion or peotic turn of phrase. However, some songs actually have a story. And most songs from musicals either contain a story within them or further a greater story. This leads to the theory that I enjoy songs that actually have a story in the lyrics. This is beared out by the fact that I also enjoy ballads.
Unforunately, this only leads me to an even greater admission, one that I wasn't planning to make.
I listen to William Shatner's album.
Not his old one from the 70's. That's garbage. But the new one done with Ben Folds. I also like Jeff Daniels album. I think that these actors are able to put more feeling, more story into their lyrics.
I don't know. I just had to get that off my chest.

I was just about to agree and support you and then you mentioned shatner's album. You lost it there my friend. I can't give you any support ont hat decision.
But I do love soundtracks. I used to own a lot in middle school and I love the background music on a lot of shows now too. Crossing Jordon always has really good music.
