blankety blank

thanks blaster. Looks like I missed the "not". I guess it would sound condescending without that little word

For those who believe I am being so, I apologize. Blastingas hit it on the head when he mentions 'thought provoking'.

Provoking thought most times does sound antagonistic. I am no one's antagonist. Antagonism is a perception, and, I am quite used to being perceived as such. It is not my intention to get under people's skin. It just works out that way.

Music has gone through change over time. It has changed tremendously, mostly due to technological advances, and not a biological process, or in relation, IMHO. Everything evolves as it pertains to things changing over time. However, as it applies to the concept of evolutionism, a biological process, I simply don't see it.

I will be the first to admit that maybe I am not as well schooled as some of you on this subject, only to say that as I see it, it is apparent that we are no longer 'evolving' as a specie. I actually see evolutionism as more of a devolving process. This is the way it appears to me, and, if anyone can show me the error in this belief, I would be happy to hear it.

Most of you hear the music. I see modern music as more of a message from a higher consciousness.

Lyrics that are not 'designed' as a tool to gain the attraction of a specific audience, almost always have Spiritual connotations. And, have become increasingly less-than positive in nature.

After that thou shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:

Philistine n. - a person who is lacking in or hostile or smugly indifferent to cultural values, intellectual pursuits, aesthetic refinement, etc., or is contentedly commonplace in ideas and tastes.

This is our war. It is not a historical account of ancient battles. These 'ancient' writings are modern-day prophesies, and, despite the accepted interpretations, are not silly stories designed to create any ritualistic religion. They are about tearing down the social, economic, and political barriers that prevent humans from coming together as a human race, and, actually evolving into a people that can co-exist in an orderly, peaceful society.

But none say, Where is God my maker, who gives us songs in the night?

I am getting way off-topic, so, I will say that I apologize for sounding condescending or arrogant, or any other perception that anyone may have, or gather from these rants. And, ask that people please post music that may support the notions or arguments they may present.

Here is an example of a simple, yet goofy song that carries no real message, other than someone who got drunk, and ate a chicken

Faith, Love, Peace, Truth, Understanding, Charity, Justice, and Liberation from the bonds that really tie us down, and, prevent further human evolution. These are values that I hope everyone considers before responding.

And, not at all condescending. I Truly understand humility, and, I realize that I am far from being the most intelligent person here.
