There is some music , unfortunately, that’s classified as ‘hate music’. Skin head and white suprematist music is of such characterizations. No leaf is left unturned. That is human, all too human. The music which accompanies ‘black masses’ is again not of the fortious kind. But for the most part, music is balm to the soul.
It is merely classified as “hate music”. I am not interested in that music, but I think that also the people who like that music are not hateful but happy while listening to it.
I like classical music as well as rock music, especially progressive rock and jazz rock.
Pain songs “do not play on today’s radio.” This media is a cult of youth catering to adolescent sexual fantasies. Even in country songs singers opine about such things as dirt country roads they have never traveled. Somebody in New York City gets a song idea and sells it to Nashville. Nobody wants to hear the honesty of hurt anymore. So Bob and I are dinosaurs, respecting Hank Williams and George Jones. According to Bob, there were many “cry in your beer” songs, but George Jones sang alcoholic music.
I was in the middle of something, per changes in organizational models, with planning, writing and persuading dynamics per LEWIN’S THREE MODAL METHOD.
Now how this applies to the above forum with Yiur inquiery in mind, is, even if it was You, It, and Me dancing, the traditinal 3 step, unlike the waltz, may create a situation, whereby You, or i could displace It, as the lead, to establish a proper and continuous
dance, thereby relegating it, to it’s proper and dimunitive place.
I don’t wish to quibble here but if the music lessens the torture, it may still be just purgatory. At some point we walk out of or escape purgatory. Mythologically speaking, hell is eternal.
Losing a loved one can seem like a hell for awhile, no retrieve, but at some point even that pain becomes abated. Yes, it may linger on forever and a day but it doesn’t necessarily have to be “hell”. But it can be a teeter-totter effect.
I also thought that you might be referring to Bob from this forum. I’m glad that you have someone in your life to share some beers and good conversation with, Ierrellus. That’s important.
I am having a cheap Lambrusco after having abstained for to days, which is a record for me. I wish i had You, insteD OF BOB, TO SHOOT THE
BREEZE WITH, opps my words went capital for some strange reason.
As far as music as an expurgative is concerned, i
have a date with Kathy , my cousin next year in
Budapest to hear the ring cycle, of Wagner, and that for me , at least causes a complete meltdown. At that point, i agree with him, that his contra Nietzche,
makes sense.
It is only my life long fascination and reverence for
Friedrich, which comes back to Charles Ives’ Eternal,
and unanswered question.
