Music I've Enjoyed Recently

It is always good to expand your horizons when it comes to music, especially when you find that you enjoy the new stuff.  Then again, when I say new stuff, I'm not really being entirely honest.  I've been listening to a lot of Bruce Springsteen, and I must say, I like what I've heard.  I started of with a greatest hits collection, but I've started to listen to full albums, and they all sound good.  So far I've listened to Born In The U.S.A, The River, The Rising, and Nebraska.  I particularly like Nebraska, it was just so soulful, and it really felt unique.  It was really good, although I wouldn't recommend regular listening, it isn't exactly the most uplifting music I've ever heard. 

Something I'm looking forward to listening to is the recently released soundtrack to the first season of Legend of Korra.  I'm a big fan of the Avatar shows, and I really like the music behind them.  The official soundtrack was just released, so I really should go and have a listen.  As a matter of fact, I think I'll do that now.

Tom Bombadil

So, I'm a fan of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, both the movies and the books.  I was discussing some stuff about Middle-Earth when Tom Bombadil came up.  I'm sorry, but Tom Bombadil was the worst part of the first book, and it would have been so much better without him.  I honestly skip that section because I hate the character so much.  I know he's supposed to be an integral part of Middle-Earth, that he's some sort of nature spirit and he represents everything that the good guys are fighting for.  But he is just an awful character.  The movies did the right thing cutting him out.
