VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

I like rock music. When I at college I liked listening the rock music.
Foreign rock music (western rock musics) I like some bands. For example Metallica and Queen.

I know this band but I don’t learn each member of the band. The U2, the eagles, Bon Jovi,  the cranberries.

When I was in college. Because I like the rock music’s tune.
Just listen to the music.  I can be relaxed when I listen to the music. Some music can excite me. Some other musics are sad.

I think the old music has more good tune and good lyrics but the modern music is just noisy. the lyrics is no meaning.
