Subject: The Hills Are Alive
In spite of Rap Artists' protests to the contrary, music today, for the most
part, has lost it's soul. Actually, "Killed" is a better word, for the
call to violence that is such an integral part of today's music betrays
what music was meant to be. From the first caveman who noticed
the haunting chant of the wind over an entrance to his cave, all the way to
the most contemporary interpretations of techno-pop by artists such as
Tangerine Dream, music is meant to glorify life -- to be a treat for the soul,
an exclamation point, an expression of hope, a celebration. Not an outlet for hate.
The mood and needs of a Society are best expressed by the work of the
Artists of the day, who speak for a people better than any
politician or pundit.
Bob Dylan expressed the need for self-evaluation during Vietnam. Cole
Porter spun fantasies as the world faced depression. Elvis liberated
the youth of America born during a time of War. The Beatles were perhaps
the world's first cultural happening, bringing together the children of the world
across the boundaries of geography and culture.
Madonna doesn't just sing about freedom for women. She IS freedom for women.
It is fascinating that after the turn of the Millennium, the world has found a renewed
appreciation for artists such as Burt Bacharach and Santana, comfort
food for the ears.
Meatloaf, if you will, both literally and figuratively.
Virtually yours,
