In an age of video wallpaper and aural anesthesia,
|
Music has become a prostitute.
|
No longer is it a gift from the gods;
|
|
It has become a pacifier,
|
a tranquilizer,
|
and a tool.
|
|
A tool to protect us from loneliness,
|
to entice us to buy
|
and to keep us from seeing
|
how bad things have become.
|
|
At one time,
|
music was a vital experience,
|
it was physical,
|
emotional,
|
almost religious.
|
|
Today music is just
|
one more device
|
used by the new sun king
|
called civilization
|
to control itself.
