He sounds like a hippie, doesn't he? :-)<BR/><BR/>Music changed me, certainly, it's one of the very few things that make living in this mostly farking awful world that we humans have made bearable.

Even in ancient Greece, there was 'elitist' music. <BR/><BR/>Today, rap a genre of primarily non-eltitist society, occupies a powerful vantantage point for influence. Well funded and world wide, rap is turning music, eltism, and influence, on its head.<BR/><BR/>But what is built on sand gets pummled by the storm of time.Sostenutohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712464302094377773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1156005563531237902006-08-19T17:39:00.000+01:002006-08-19T17:39:00.000+01:002006-08-19T17:39:00.000+01:00Perhaps it moves one to be one's true self? For me, that is somebody full of good intentions and deep thought (but not usually the actions that ought to follow them). For Hitler, it moved him to be Hitler.<BR/><BR/>A thought rather than an assertion<BR/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.madmusingsof.me.uk/weblog/" REL="nofollow">Gert</A>?http://www.blogger.com/profile/10381416067801764522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1155936957012711172006-08-18T22:35:00.000+01:002006-08-18T22:35:00.000+01:002006-08-18T22:35:00.000+01:00Wasn't Hitler an of (certain) classical music?<BR/><BR/>I agree on the moving deeply, but what does it move people to?Berend de Boerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13556146622426337431noreply@blogger.com
