The State of the World

Where would we be without music?

If there were no such thing as a ballad, rhyme, or melody, would there be a major difference in our moods and verbal/physical expression?

No piano, horn, or stringed instruments. How do you suppose our daily activites and interactions would be affected? What change about our relationship roles?

*what might change*

*I cant bear such a thought*

That's a sad thought because music is alot of things to people. Inspiration, joy, motivation, relaxation, etc, etc.

^ good call.

I could live without a television forever, but not a radio. Just have to dance!! Music makes the world go round.

""A friend once mentioned to me that we are inherently rhythmic beings, based on the heartbeat alone--""


Yeppers. Our heartbeat, sleep patterns, menstrual cycles, ticking time (so to speak), tidal waves-- it's all based on rhythm!!

Well, one of my clients said to me, in a crazed stupor, "Did you know that music is the universal language of the world?"

lol Not the first time I'd heard that, but still very true. Music is what binds us together, even during the worst of times.


Music is my medicine.

Music reflects the social conflicts, economic struggles, and political shifts of the time period in which it was created. Music speaks to the future generations, harboring in its notes, predictions and forewarnings.


No music = lifeless


The world would rapidly self-destruct in the absence of music.

I just discovered SIRIUS Radio last night. Friend has it and I was gobsmacked at how many cool stations there were to listen to! Just awesome flipping around the dial, no commercials, lots of talk stations too.

At one point, we were all rocking out to that 80's song The Safety Dance S>.....A>.....F>....E>......T>.....Y>......Is It Safe To Dance, yes the safety dance.......

damn songs been stuck in my head all morning 🙂

That SIRIUS had some prety raunchy channels on it! We were listening to one called Roudhouse Blues, and some song came on about majoring in smoking grass and fking girls during highschool. Ahh...good ole American blues!


Airborne ejaculate.......😢

Does anyone listen o Lex and Terry?
I want the sudden death podcasts.

I have nearly every song on your playlist in my iTunes, SIL.

Omg, I love the Staple Singers!

Hey, have you ever heard the version of "Distant Lover", live at the Oakland Coliseum ('74)? Everytime I hear it, I get a little tearful.

Right now I am listening to Hezekiah Walker, and just finished John P. Kee's "Show Up".

OOooh, I'll look that up.

When we saw Chaka Khan perform at a concert last summer, we thought we were going to go into cardiac arrest from sheer excitement. She seemed a little exhausted, but she's still got it! All she had to do was her signature holler, and people were ready to tear the roof off.

Ok, SIL. Let's see how good you *really* are...


"Down at the beach, or a party in town
Makin' love, or just riding around...

Let's have a picnic, go to the park
Rollin' in the grass 'til long after dark"


That's my jam!

""War- All Day Music, Baybeee!""


Aw, shucks! You are too good!

""So I talk to myself, I give plenty time
To all these decisions lying in my mind
Holding hands or put my arms around her waist
Neither one of the these two will I try in haste
Taking my time to work the problem out
Yet trying to convince her that there is no need for doubt""


Ok, this is my last attempt to stump you.

""Lucky you are ... I never seen her live, I wouldn't mind seeing her now, even though she's much older""


Her newest single is "Angel". Of course, it is a hit. Fabulous!

You got me. 😢


Those lyrics look awful familiar, but I am stumped.

Oooh! Ooooh! I LOVE this song!


Always, Stevie Wonder!


"Golden Lady" is by far one of the best songs I've ever heard. I would pay someone to sing it to me, lol.

""Goodnight Jackdoniel (William Theodore) and ScorpSuperior (Vanessa Rochelle).
And don't bother denying your real names, because the Oracle Knows!""

lol

Night, SIL

lol

It's probably Ebeneezer, or something to that effect.


SIL strikes me as a Pamela or Sheila.

I'd even give her Lisa. It ends in "a", and is probably 2 syllables.
