The music issue totally eludes me.

I can’t imagine a life devoid of all the great styles of music we have access to, and why, if I’m understanding the world according to Ingrid, all that great stuff is off limits.

A gut-wrenching, soul-stirring guitar solo from B.B.King…the timeless magic of swing from Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman…the pure fun and funk of Paliament/Funkadelic…Country…Jazz…the “British Invasion” of the early ’60s…straight ahead Rock n Roll…

What an amazing menu to choose from! Would life be enhanced by the absence of all that?

I can’t imagine how it could be. Music is the spice of life. A little of this..a little of that. Sometimes, nothing hits the spot like a sad George Jones song. Other times, what could sound better than a long funky sax solo from David Sanborn.

I guess in Ingridland, it would be like a steady diet of vanilla yogurt. Safe and bland. Nothing wild and spicy.

Just safe and bland.

Yuk.

Here is a story about people who were listening to classical music and started acting fleshy. My coworkers comment was, “Sounds like something that would happen at a Kiss concert.”

The last two posts I made took several hours to show up – but they did.

Nathan – track them and make sure that they’re not approved before we actually document this. To this point, this is the first I’ve heard of non-approval of comments. As with this site, when I moderate comments, some may be hours old, since I don’t constantly sit here checking for comments from new posters.

AAAHH! this is so frustrating! I started a good conversation over at slice with these people, and now they won’t post my comments. There was NOTHING offensive in them, just good old fashion debate… Grrrrr.

Well, I for one have burned all my classical music records — I swear you could hear the demons screaming — when I discovered the truth about Mozart’s lifestyle of debauchery. I knew, then and there, that this so-called “classical music” was a lie from the pit, and would lead all churches who used it into debauchery, apostasy, and watching Hee-Haw re-runs for all eternity.

Thank God that He helped me discover the music that is truly honouring — the BLUES
