Where is the Love?
A friend of mine on Twitter posted the following quote and asked me my thoughts on:
What has happened to music? Music used to show love and devotion, but know it preaches hate and stupidity ~ Kamanda Ndama (via @teamarete)
Music has always evoked emotions, love, happiness, sadness. It is a wonderful way to share and feel emotions. Music has also always been a reflection of society.
In the 30's songs like "We're In The Money", "High Hopes" and "Ain't We Got Fun" were popular as they brightened hopes and helped people deal with the Great Depression. In the 40's War themes were popular as we were involved in WWII. The 50's were a time of change and the birth of Rock-n-Roll. Protest songs were popular in the 60's. In the 70's music began branching out in many different directions. Groups like Abba, The Carpenters, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who... It was a time of change we were still protesting war but also finding ourselves as a society. Regardless of the situation, none of the music was about hate.
It is a sad statement of today's society that music is preaching hatred. We need happy music, music that brings people together, not tear us apart. Music used to calm he savage beast - Now it seems that it creates the savage beast.
When I reflect on it, that's why I sing mostly older songs. I mean what I sing - all the songs I choose have some reference to my life. I don't have time or energy to focus on or preach hatred and stupidity. Hope you don't either.

Welcome to my blog
HI There
Yup I am jumping on the blogging bandwagon - Twitter is doing great for me (Kudos to www.martiniinthemorning.com for the heads up on that one) so I figured that I'd try doing the blog too. I was just watching Good Morning America - Saw this piece about letting your body find its weight.Fat Acceptance: 'Young, Fat and Fabulous' Say No to Yo-Yo Diets
I am thinking that's a great movement - It makes so much sense. Historically, not being paper thing was a sign of affluence. Marilyn Monroe, one of the sexiest women ever was a size 14! Your body knows what it is supposed to be. Ever since the 60's and Twiggy we have been fighting an endless battle of the bulge. I am by no means saying that we can sit on the couch eating ice cream all day and getting to 800 pounds. We need to live healthy, active lifestyles and if you're 200 pounds, you're 200 pounds. Our bodies know what we are supposed to be WAY more than we do. Regardless we will all NEVER be Twiggy... Isn't that what makes us interesting though.
In the end... Be happy Be Active and Be Healthy - Eat a balanced diet - Be happy with YOU - no matter what size or shape. You are awesome just as you are!
Have a great day!
