If you don't love Justin Vernon then you have awful taste in music.

Having been a therapist to a transgender woman client under-going surgery, I am deeply disgusted by these alleged acts of cruelty. It is my opinion that most institutions carry on the mentality of that of its management. If the people who we are supposed to rely on to keep us safe are immature and unprofessional, how should any of us feel safe, no matter our ethnicity, cultural history, gender or religion. As if feelings of shame, humiliation and confusion hadn't likely plagued this woman most of her life, and now this. I'm appalled.

Ah, so THAT'S what that first song was about - couldn't understand one word with that vocalist's falsetto delivery. Huh. And I thought the song was about cars or something. Thanks for the insight!

Bon Iver is one of the few new artists that really makes an impression. He doesn't have much of a grey area, though. People either like him or hate him. The Smiths were the same way.
