whats zat about?
It seems,
as the world tries to progress,
and music gets edgier, more gundgette, and swarms us with cultural noise, lights, makeup and smoke... I sometimes feel like a dinosaur chasing rainbows...
And I battle my thoughts of being a dragon with gingivitus, or a dinosaur who doesn't know his scales...irrelevent, mediocre slacker, middle-aged , while seeking peace that somehow functions in my life and, perhaps even our time...
But sometimes, I remember this...the MORE noise, the More grundge and edge... and the more Starsearch manipulative media-tar pit b.s...that's what will give our hunger for simple beauty power...
The kinder, simple arts--with basic heartbeat and the essence of the songbird, and the crystal clearity of a Hawaiian rainbow--will always...if we sit and listen and play from the heart--shine through.
A beautiful image emerges from a sea of dots....
The noise is only the canvass...

Hey Gordon,
I took my DIL to Josh Groban's concert for her birthday. It sure ruined it for me when the noise level was barely tolerable. The Africans who open for him are beyond anything I could tolerate. I wonder what they might have sounded like if they'd put the amps at a level where they wouldn't cause permanent ear and brain damage.
I've been told that "If it's too loud, you're too old". So how do any of them hear past the age of 30? |

Well I've lost a couple of frequencies too...
Probably the Who, or Chicago, circa 1969 --or chopping wood with chisels circa 2002!
At least I didn't play on a marching band drum line!
Some of these kids will be losing their hearing.
I too, find the brutality of sounds and words a disconcerting and sad...but gotta look for the rainbows...or at least the rainbow tribe.
So I retreat to my slack and uke.
Peace in our time. |
