You can't judge a book (or band). . .
Back in the fall, me, Brack, and Nick were watching Conan O'Brien. A band called Jet was performing that night. And they were horrible. I mean horrible. One of the worst performances I had ever seen. I really cannot describe how bad this was. Normally, on a show, the host will go greet the band after then finish playing, and say something like "good job," or whatever. This time, Conan just kind of walked over there speechless.
Anyway, fast forward to last night. I'm wandering the Wal-mart music aisle. I notice the newly released "The OC: Mix 1," CD. Yes, go ahead and make fun of me. Anyway, I'm previewing it and seeing if it was something I might want to purchase. But, there is a song by Jet on there. Well, I listened to that track, and it wasn't terrible. I didn't really like the song, but it was well played. So I thought . . . maybe I was wrong about Jet. So, I located their cd, scanned it through the previewer, and lo and behold, more of the stuff I heard on Conan.
The moral of this story: Often our first impressions are wrong, but usually they are right.
That was awfully cynical. And no, I didn't buy the OC cd. Not yet, at least.
