I'm really not. I'm trying not to be a complete asshole by being middle of the road, which in turn makes me sound like a smug asshole. There's no winning.
Edit: I missed your point. You're talking about my last sentence in that post.
The answer: I immediately focus on what musician's are saying. I've seen about 100 concerts in the last 3 years, and after spending time just grooving to the sounds, I started to get bored. My taste changed and now I focus a lot on what is said and how it's said and its innate or subjective meaning. It doesn't have anything to do with my writing poetry. I only read Poe, and do not study poetry critically.
