Art Of Life
One thing that i have been intrigued by is 1960's music both American and Jamaica. Recently i was watching the Grammy's and I saw the beach boys performing. Initially i thought that it was going to be terrible, like what would i look like listening and watching "the beach boys"? When they started performing my head automatically started to nod to the smooth melody of the music. They performed a song called "Surfer Girl." The song was amazing and they did an amazing job considering their age, most of them are in their 60's and 50's. After hearing them perform their song, I went home and did research on the group to find out more about their genre of music. I found other music groups like The Buckinghams and the Beatles, well the Beatles are already been popular but i recently started listening to their music. When i hear their music i hear a time where everyone is happy and content with themselves. Their music resembles the time period because it was such a fun time to be yourself and enjoy life for everything that it has to offer. Modern "pop culture" music all sing about the same thing, talking about relationships, having their heart broken, being gangster,being cool etc.. We do not find and socially conscience musicians that reflect on what going on around them but them selves. People talk about how much woman they have and how much money they have. I honestly do not agree to music like this, it is witch craft! So, i have taken the initiative to listen to old music to let me enjoy life and be aware of how life is supposed to be lived. i BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT TO like this music and listen to it because it brings you back to a time of happiness. People fail to realize the power of music, Adolf Hitler would play music that made people go crazy ( OK, i know that is pushing it lol) but it s powerful thing and when you listen to 1960's music it will put at peace and enjoy what life is supposed to be about!

What is the art of life? "Silence my brother". I am wondering how you know what kind of art was around during the 1960s? You weren't alive then. Or are you actually a secret witchcraft practicer that performs ancient voodoo rituals in your basement at 3 in the morning so that you could time travel to that time and see what the music was like? I KNEW IT! You have been reported to the federal government.
ReplyDeleteGary, I do believe you have an interesting take in all of this. From my stand points it is nice to explore music from different decades and get a taste of what that time period was like. It allows you to understand your history and lets you live that time period because a lot of artists wrote music based off what was happening in their time. I do think that the 60's music was peaceful and very different from what our society today produces. That's what is great about music though and it will stick around for a very long time.
