To those of you who will read my book:
Dylan Hart's The Scene may be offensive to some readers. It contains more than one reference to one or more groups that do not portray them in a positive light. If you don't like it...too fucking bad. I make no apologies.
Within it's pages is a plethora of profanity, drug use, alcohol consumption, smoking, and adult situations. If this offends you...too fucking bad. I make no apologies.
Dylan doesn't do romance. While she does encounter a few delectable creatures Dylan never gets laid. Sorry ladies you'll have to get your rocks off somewhere else. If this is a problem for you...too fucking bad. I make no apologies.
For those of you who enjoy the occasional alcoholic beverage, profuse profanity, recreational drug use, the use of tobacco as a calming agent, violent and sometimes gory situations I hope you enjoy yourself. If you find Dylan Hart's The Scene to be entertaining, enlightening, or downright wondrous I thank you. Pass it on, scream it from the roof tops, tell all of your friends.
But dammit no matter what you do make no apologies.

Musical Spawn - When Genres Collide
Are there music genres anymore?
Being forced to be a music buff since birth has granted me the ability to enjoy, or at least tolerate all types of music. I have my preferences yes, but I can appreciate good music and completely detest shitty music.
As of late, perhaps the last 10 years, I have come to realize the line that once defined each genre had blurred and at this point is basically nonexistent.
A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away, we could enjoy rock music and it's spawns like punk, glam-rock, and death metal. The 80's brought the pop genre into the yuppy mainstream and introduced the ghetto to rap. Classical, jazz, and big band had their place in stereotypical ethos.There used to be country tunes which contained bluegrass, and....well, I'm kinda out of my element here but you get the idea.
In 2012 musical primordial ooze has evolved into a single entity with little distinction. Music connoisseurs worldwide are subject to either listening to only music pre-dating The Spice Girls and Limp Bizkit or the muddled, pre-packaged, sell-out, craptastic-musak we have today.
If you are confused about genres don't worry, you are not alone. Here is a list of genres (or sub-genres) and their offspring.

*Rock/Rap -Hip-Hopcore(Insane Clown Posse, Limp Bizkit)
Bros fo sho
*Modern Pop/Country -Pop-a-Billy (Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood,
basically any female vocalist.)
Crossovers are only sell-outs in disguise
*Punk/Easy Listening-Emo (Sorry it came with the name)
Enough said...
*Country/Rock/Rap -Good Ol' Bizoyz (Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker)
Dude, please, just pick one!
*Classical/Death Metal -Sonata-good idea (Nightwish, Tristania)
Ok, I have to admit I kinda like this genre...but that dudes chin braids have got to go.
If you have noticed I have missed some (potentially thousands of mixed genres)
please list your own in a comment box. Happy Listening!
