He has tainted all fans of 311 or OAR in my mind.<BR/><BR/>But maybe this is getting back to my post from a couple weeks ago: <A HREF="http://rangelifemusic.blogspot.com/2008/02/column-is-it-fair-to-judge-people-based.html" REL="nofollow">"Is It Fair To Judge Someone Based On Their Music Taste?"</A>Femme Fatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598929221869918124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8627891267029264947.post-22155777901146643702008-03-07T10:39:00.000-06:002008-03-07T10:39:00.000-06:00I hate 311 too and sure alot of their fans are dou...I hate 311 too and sure alot of their fans are douchebags but there are also a few misguided souls that love the 311 and that I am friends with. This is coming from someone from a small town where seriously there was like a 311 gang! I'm talking white shoe polish 311 on the cars and shit. It was madness. If that wasn't enough to make me hate them, their songs were permanently fused into my brain by being played on my favorite radio station over and over and over again. Thank God for ipods and the CD players of today. My poor Ford Fairmont only had a lowly tape deck.<BR/>The first time or possibly second time I met SonicRyan I asked him if he liked 311. That was a requirement back in the day if this was a cool person I could hang with. He passed my test.

But the songs I have heard of theirs (granted, that's like... 4 maybe) I didn't like.<BR/><BR/>I really should be less adamant about it. It's an illogical hatred, especially when I haven't even listened to a whole album.<BR/><BR/>I just noticed I've linked to a video with a harmonica player in my last 2 posts. I wonder if I have some unconscious love of harmonica.

They're a remarkably autonomous band and their early stuff isn't all bad.
