blog's title (explanation)

The address of this little blog is "donotbehatingonkelly", now this may seem really absurd and random to all of you out there...and you would be exactly right in that summation...but I'm going to create a reason after the fact just like I do when I say something inappropriate to my wife and cover it up and explain I was just kidding.

Well to those of you who know me, you already know of my music taste for the most part...it's very eclectic and I really don't like any specific genres, I just like good songs. Now several of you were dismayed to know of my fondness for the new Kelly Clarkson album...I have to say people, it's got a nice collection of songs on it...I'M NOT BEING SARCASTIC, AS MUCH AS THIS PAINS ME I LIKE THE FRICKIN' THING...now I know this goes against what's trendy and cool...i.e. it has mass appeal and she's the American Idol chick (all that's wrong with music in some folks opinion) but I think it's catchy and it's got clever writing...Now I'm really not typically into this genre for most of the same reasons a lot of you are (and believe me she's the exception to the rule...I hate most of the stuff on the radio and can't understand why people love that worthless dribble) With that being said I think ol' Kel' has touched a nerve in Uncle Jerrod's heart that just appeals on some level...

Now I'm the world's worst about judging people based on their movie and music preferences...but it just goes to show that artistic taste is in the eye/ear of the beholder...and this pains me cuz I really want to believe that everybody who buys a Jennifer Lopez album is a worthless zero who's wasting air all of us might need one day...but I don't know why they enjoy it, they just do...and who am I to say that they're wrong (a sane person).

Now I'm not really sure I believe most of this and maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm not a brokeback enthusiast...but keep this in mind next time you are in your car and a Kel-Kel(that's my pet name for her) song comes on and you roll your eyes...just remember that jerrod said...DO NOT BE HATING ON KELLY...the title is just a generic call for acceptance in all situations...anytime you want to be mean or judgmental towards a certain segment of the population or someone's taste just remember what ol' jer said...we're going to start a catch phrase I promise

(DISCLAIMER!!!!)
Let me close by saying that I'm a hypocrite and I'll make fun of all your tastes and interests without a moment's thought

if you'll excuse me I'm now going to listen to AC/DC and Metallica for the next 48 hours straight while eating a steak and working on my carburetor (all very manly stuff)
