A true story I heard about the MC5 from 1 of my teaching assistants in college. He attended Catholic school in Michigan & the year he graduated, around '68, the seniors hired the MC5 to play the big school dance. In deference to the nuns, the MC5 actually changed the opening line of "Kick Out the Jams" from "Kick out the jams, motherf*ckers" to "Kick the jams, Mother Superior!"

<b>What does the music do for (or to) you?</b>

<br>Does it make you comfortably numb (to paraphrase PF), or does it take you to ecstasy, or something like that?

<br>Or do some of you listen to certain CDs just to remain <i>au courant</i>, so you won't feel left out of the conversation (which is why I peruse the sports pages)?

<br>Do you drift from one "top cool song of the day" to the next, leaving yesterday's CDs to gather dust, to be revived 20 years hence as the "new" vehicles of coolness, like the rangefinder camera revival today?

<b>What does music do for you?</b>

<p>

The origin of music was religious or spiritual, to get you close to God. Is this happening at all?

Matt, I was just indicating my preference for CB over Moby. I dunno, I have no problem with his music, but find myself getting edgy after a while. It's not a general problem I have with electronica/dance at all.

 

Vic, not everybody is trying to be au courant and cool. Roots reggae, gospel, sufi music (qawwals), Indian classical music in general are all devotional in nature. And not everybody who listens to these kinds of music does so out of pure vanity, if I get the drift of what you are saying, theologically speaking. Quite the opposite.
