From my last contribution, I have really agonized over what I was going to strive to communicate in this “installment”. As I pointed out last time, one of my major causes and interests, as many of YOU know already, IS The SUPPORT Of local MUSIC (Art, Crafts & CULTURE) In OUR Communities! As funding supposedly, and, of course, somehow mysteriously disappears and “dries up” for educational, community and “grass root” programs that educate, support and encourage MUSIC and The Arts. Curiously, but NOT so surprisingly corresponding with heroin production, and pharmaceutical drug companies PROFIT$, at all time highs (pun intended), and the proclivity of expensive vehicles being driven around, by the 2 percenter’s…As the “middle class” shrivels and dies to give rise to the new “technoc-rat”…I could go on ad infinitum & ad nasuem…BUT then again, who would LISTEN, and more importantly DO anything about IT??? Because a society, culture, and civilization are basically judged on two merits: HOW they support & encourage MUSIC and The Arts & how the most vulnerable in their society, culture, and civilization are TREATED!

We see
and hear that MUSIC, as well as rest of The Arts are being systematically being
continually eroded as the new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)
categories take over for any sort of Liberal Arts Education. I guess that robots and cybers DO NOT listen
to MUSIC or go to museums, certainly the NEW class and RACE of
“technoc-rat”…certainly will NOT and DOES NOT have the time, or interest.
The
question of WHAT will become, and more importantly: WHAT can be done to
CHANGE???
IS ALL technology BAD??? Is all MUSIC and ART, worth ALL the time, effort, energies, and sacrifices used to make it???
WHAT are YOUR answers?? I’d love to hear about them!
