Re: Mind's Eye Re: The power of music

I'll check him out. Interesting I saw a young man (American Idol 3rd or 4th place a few years ago-i forget his name) at the Bronze Lounge here in Houston a few weeks ago and he called out some chatters at the bar for talking loudly over his music. He was pretty good but too sensitive. To be a performer in this culture you need thick skin.

My wife and I attend somewhere between 6 to 10 theater events a year. Performances are common here. Growing up I was lucky because my father was a professor giving me a better access to the university's theater, they knew me. Plus the university sponsored a lot of entertainment events {even watched the Harlem globe trotters lose!  :-)  }

Since an early age music was available. In my early 20's I walked out of a pop concert. Terribly loud noise and that turned me off pop music for years. My business partner was considered one of the top flamingo guitarist on the world. It was exciting listening to him private concerts.

Personally I enjoy closing my eyes and letting my soul wander where it wills ,,

I continue to try to find a way to communicate with the members here, although some prove more challenging than others for me for a variety of reasons.  I am sure most feel the same way about me.  I know I can bring just about everything back to the mystical viewpoint, and have little interest in mainstream issues.  I have my own hot spots too, and some have been touched in here over the years, and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to observe myself as I react.  I think it is amazing that this group marches on, without point or purpose, just a place to connect with folks from all over the world.  I hope I have gained a little understanding and respect for our diversity on all levels.

Live orchestra music always reminded me of bugs bunny cartoons, as here in the US, many of us were first introduced to the classics there, even if they were in black and white.  Travesty?  or paradox?

My preference a live orchestra , or a quartet of may be a piano concerto. I also like people that can actually sing not needing a live sexual display to draw attention away from their poor vocals.
Loud over bearing music with a excessive drum is just that load and overbearing. It does not qualify as primitive music, have experienced primitive music, yes it will stir the essence with in your soul.
I do think you connect very well with moderating skills that are superb. As for the trio of Gabby, Andrew & RP what can I say? Whatever?

dividee et impera, huh?  You seem to have an authority hot button.  And, as moderator of the group, me as an authority.  However, all of my posts are not offered from this viewpoint as I seldom find a reason to moderate.  Yet, you rail against the "machine", and continue to rail against me.  I could take the "whatever Gabby" stance, or the stance that your statements opaque and incomprehensible, but I don't, I leave that to others.  I keep trying to connect.  I don't know why.

The power of divide et impera is what I see performed here. I'll see how that helps me in replying to James' question, which is still open, because I think so differently.

We all suffer alone, Gabby, and collectively may or may not feel a cause.  There does seem to be a drama in there, somewhere, but it continues to elude me as I quit participating in psychodrama long ago.  My compassion can't seem to touch it, although I occasionally feel it enough to express.  Music then, as Andrew suggests, can be a relief.  Like beauty, the artist's work can inspire, but our sensibilities are honed over time and experience.  To each his own. The real stuff liberates us from the knowing.

Well, I loved that Jack Bruce's last line in the video of this historic Cream reunion was "That's the real stuff," probably because the passion for the music of these three musicians, reunited after going their own way as teenagers to make music history, is obvious in this performance.  But, beauty in the eye of the beholder is hard to argue.

Haven't you posted this before? Or was it Francis? I understand that this is very much the music of the stars of your time. And I understand that this is good music, like Andrew said. Yet the displayed Born Under A Bad Sign attitude cannot compete with the "I've been down so goddamn long that it looks like up to me" time span that the Doors overlooked. Absolutely timeless in respect of dealing with self-pity is Douglas Adams. Here's a reminder from his So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish:
"And as he drove on, the rain clouds dragged down the sky after him for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him and to water him."

I had the Superbowl on last night.  I was quickly bored (Denver didn't turn up) and muted the broadcast whilst doing some work.  Looking up it was half-time.  Without the 'music' the Black-eyed Peas and others strutting about on stage looked utterly ludicrous, but still better than with sound!  I can get into, say, Beethoven's 9th and a wide range of live performances.  I would pay to have the vast majority of so-called music turned-off.  I cannot remotely understand why anyone would inflict it on me.  Nietzsche, an idiot if ever there was one, was swooned by military processions and bands.  Some people are very easily swooned, so selfish they can't understand annoying other people is wrong and unaware reasonable silence is a social demand.  Germany is very different to the UK in this respect - even if your kids are noisy there you are expected to take them out so as not to annoy your neighbours.  Harder to describe the soul-touching, especially as I doubt some of the annoying prats have one!  If you can do pelvic thrusts to it I reckon it ain't music and has no soul.

Why does music captivate our soul as powerfully as it does? Why is it that the same music which captivates the soul of a some listeners is found to be nothing more than annoying noise to other listeners?
