ME Generation of the 80's, the X-Generations of the 90's, the witty, but language deprived social media typo-ridden crowds of the 2000's?
How do you get these labels off and grow a collective rage? How do we drop the subjects of who we are and recognize a common objective? How do we keep the intellectuals from ignoring the ignorant, and the ignorant from bullying them? Can we get a collective here?
What kind of song do we need to release to unite this motley crew of American folks who think their freedoms have something to do with the expression of wit, or force, violence, coercion and greed?
I suppose the starting point might be to recognize one thing we all still have in common is that
We Are Alive which is more than we can say about the countless victims of war, crime and disease. This daily attack on our peace of mind, these man-made and intentionally directed disasters, surround and confound our collective thinking and cloud our feelings to keep us from reconciliation.
Once we accept what is so, we can participate in ways that undermine the dinosaurs and dismantle their castles. We must generate alternative experiences to override the forces of destruction to realize our creative power again to know how to dissolve dinosaur industries fraught with dying owners who fear their oncoming deaths and respond with destruction.
We have alternative ways to keep our earth clean and our people happy. All of this extraordinary destruction is coordinated by less than 10% of the population with the help of media. Let us not blindly and dutifully walk into the ovens to satisfy the needs of greed. Let us watch while the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, now enveloped in oil, ravages the southern states, where most of these rich gun toting revelers live. And when the time is right, lets us set fire to their thoughts, their beliefs, and their fictions with song, and watch them burn in their own man made hell. Let us cleverly find ways to wipe out their wealth, jam their intentions, and their hold on life as we know it on planet earth. Politics are but words, believed. Do not believe, but act to move away from destruction as we watch the last of them finally and fully die off. Their karma is great, and mother earth will back-fire to rid herself of such filth.
We can help her when she is done, cleaning up the damage with an awareness and a vision, to never poke or provoke her again.
We can start by collectively calling in sick. And while you are out, check out the impact on your own psyche from listening to the
power of songs. Its free and easy listening, and when you find something you can relate to pass them around the country. Music has the means to empower us. Share your meaning making tunes as well. We can be artful in our plot to wipe out greed. It is way more healthy. Listen up and jam!
