whoa, your showing your age with comments like that. or maybe just a
certain degree of trendiness.
I believe (I suppose I could be wrong) that sadness and anger are just
emotions. Neither better nor worse than the other. We relate to them, and
more so to those we understand and/or feel better than the others. Make
sense? Sadness doesn't write bad poetry, nor does anger write bad slogans.
Untalented people do those things.
When you take an example like Sinead O'Conner, who can write both agry or
sad or whatever songs well, then your talking about someone with a great
depth of character. Bands that seem to have a handle on just one emotion
are basically pretty one sided and shallow. Even if they are very deep in
one of area.
It is only my opinion, but I think that ODing any particular emotion is not
a good thing. We need balance.
whatever,
