| I'm double majoring in political science and philosophy. But like almost everyone else here, I play a lot of music on the side. One of the things I love most about Belmont is that no matter your major there's still a great musical environment. I get to play guitar for music majors, and I get to record with audio engineering majors, and there's always somebody playing a free show on campus. It's so fun to be around such talented people (though it was a little intimidating at first).
And, in unrelated news, I glanced at your band's myspace. Pretty good stuff. I particularly like "Why such a change."

If you are what you eat, then this is the stuff I want to feed on. Music has that other-worldly ability to nourish the spirit and enlarge the soul. I'm done with the flimsy cynic seeking to hide himself in the steel armor of pseudo-intellectual babble. I want to hear a voice that sings from the ache of hope and love. I want to feel the swinging of fists through the resistance and despair. In the words of Bruce Cockburn, 'got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight'. Amen."
