The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post - A collection of Letters pertaining to the music industry.

I'm all for people listening to what makes them tick, whether the clock's in the pop scene, or the classical scene, or any inbetween-- delve away. Who cares. So long as I can't hear it, heh heh heh.

This post may be off the porch for this thread, but the thought process started here.

I have a little trouble "doing things for Maynard". I listen to Tool because the music they create speaks to me (hey kids, isn't that why we listen to music in the first place), and a step further, lyrically contains messages that cause that spark occur inside when I listen to it-- Yeah baby, this is the stuff.

"Think for yourself" speaks volumes to me when I'm in that particular place, but I was thinking (ha, ha) that some of us cling to Tool because they ACTUALLY SAY THINGS OF THAT SORT-- WOW, HOW REFRESHING-- and yet... if they're telling us to think for ourselves, clinging to Tool mantras is so, like, un-Tool.
