Minstrel 3

Why does music bring such pleasure to us? Music soothes, excites, and calms us depending on our moods, why?
Music is varying frequencies of electric signals which opon reaching our brain reacts with various sections of our brains and produces feeling based on our tastes.
I think most music is good. At different times I will feel like different types of music, but the majority of the time I want a mix that forces me to be aware, instead of settleing in to a consistant boring drone. The one music I will listen to consistently is rock.
I tend to listen to the music that is not the most popular at the time because the more popular the genre the more populated it becomes with snake oil salesmen and women. Those people that are singing this particular brand of music because it is what sells, to me they are prostituting their gifts for the the thirty peices of silver.
I will listen to those people who have stayed true to their music regardless of the popularity and marketability of it. The awful truth is the majority of people listen to a certain tyoe of music because some half baked DJ at a two bit radio station tells them it is cool. Give me early Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Dolly,etc. before Rascal Flatts or any of the other band wagon bands any day. Santanna, Joe Satrianni, Evans Blue, 10 Years, any time before Poison or any of that whole disastrous period of glam/hair band BS. I want my music to come from the core of the person performing, 'deep down, gut wrenching, scream it from the mountains top, opinion be damned because this is me' music that captures me in its grip and won't release until it is spent, music, or don''t come knocking in the first place.

On a new note I would like to pose a question. Just who or what were Einstein, Galileao, Michailangilo, and all the rest of the creatures who have blessed us with their knowledge through the history of man? An article puplished on Google in the Physics section this last week detailed how they had proven one of the fundimental principles of Einstein's Theory Of Relativivty, using technology that wasn't even being dreamed of when he first put this forth. This type of occurance is one of the driving forces behind my feeling that it is possible to carry knowledge into, through, and out of the death experience.
