Wanted to share this, didn't know where, so will do it here.
Was talking with a friend I've known since high school and the topic of our wildly different musical tastes came up. He recalled a time I made him watch the film version of The Wall with me (oddly I do not remember this, but it probably happened) and it was a clear sign he and I were on radically different musical trajectories, which exist to this day. He went on to say he thought it was so great that there was a community of people who shared similar musical interests that I have been active with for over a decade. He was envious of our community here. That made me appreciate us in a new way.
