THE MUSIC AND THE MISERY

"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"
-Rob, High Fidelity

p.s. high fidelity is one of my all time favourite novels mainly bcoz the guy in it reminds me a lot of me. High fidelity the movie however i hated mainly bcoz the guy just reminded me too much of me, and I didnt wanna be that guy. amazing how much difference visual representation cn make huh.

p.s2 john cusak who plays rob is also one of my fav actors coz hes such a niche actor..hes subtle and businesslike and understated ... my fav cusak movies (in no particular order)r :

1. serendipity (mushy me! serendipity is also my favourite word, i spent hours looking for songs wt the word in the title onilne and download them)
2. the grifters-(coz i wanted to become a con artist thru ages 8-18, and a gangsta ages 19-20..some part of me still does hehe but im not cut out for it..too much concience..oh n i loved the oedipus angle in the movie..)
3. runaway jury-(its originally a john grisham novel, once agen cusaks ability to understate stands out in gold)
4. identity-(lot of ppl thought it got predictable towrds the end but kept dumb me guessing till the very end..plus i can nevr tire of psycho-movies)
5. con air-(not really a cusak movie per se, plays a very small part in it, but the movie was a childhood favourite..yes, boys will be boys..)
