Music is our myth of the inner life.
Susanne Langer

If this is true, then rap and ska and heavy metal indicate a terrible void in the souls of our young people.
I do remember my father saying how awful the Beatles were, though, and how Cab Calloway was so great. So perhaps we just don't understand the myths of the next generation?
I have a sixteen year old who is a drummer in a band, but who begged to join us for the opera season this year. So I don't worry about his soul too much.

False notes can be forgiven, false music cannot.
Nadia Boulanger, who taught a friend of mine in Paris

welcome to your life
there's no turning back
even while we sleep
we will find you
acting on your best behavior
turn your back on mother nature
everybody wants to rule the world

Bill. I saw all of the biggies'..at one time or another..In Hartord, Ct. then Springfield, Mass. The Pot smoke was so thick it could be cut with a knife..one did not have to have a joint in their mouth to INHALE' ;-) When it comes to the change in music..
Inharmonious Notes do not make good music..They also alter the Brain Waves and create agitation as well as anger Many scientific studies have discovered this. The best story I have heard recently happened in Polk County, Fla. There is a a city
Ordinance banning Music in Auto's past a certain Decibel..25
young drivers were picked up by the local police. When they
came before the young female Judge..She sentenced them to
3 hours of listening to Great Composers at the same Level they
were arrested for...;-)
