This is my favorite one. It touched home for me. Our radio stations - at least in the The U.S.A. - are plagued with the same old tones I’ve been hearing at least since the days of my teen years. Most of us are caught in a loop of repeated songs that keep us stuck in old memories. Not saying all of the songs are terrible; however, there is so much more to music than the ones set on repeat on commercial radio.
Most of us never think to examine the images being produced by the words nor the energy the music creates in our bodies. No, we mindless sing along to the songs we all know because it is a very catchy toon. Take for example ”rap.” Most rap nowadays is filled with b..., n..., f..., here’s my bling-bling, that my hoe; basically, devoid of any meaningful, substantial content. Ask one who listens to this stuff and you’ll probably get ”I love the beat and I don’t listen to the words.” (Then ask if it is okay for you to speak to them in a similar way this ”song” does; duck! You might get hit as they shout f... NO N...! 😳) - I may have given a similar answer back in my teen years - I loved that depressing music.
Don’t we have Clear Channel to thank for this? Anyways, I’m sure I ruffled a few feathers with this one. 😛🙏🏼🤣😏

No worries about ruffling feathers :) That was a great comment!!!
@freewritehouse shortly after I found out about the SBI, I connected with them. Shorty before writing this post, he got back to me saying he’d sponsor me. I haven't yet received the wallet message confirming this but He did assure me it is happening.
I only bring this up because I don’t know if this disqualifies me or not for more extra help should I be chosen this round or any other future rounds (I don’t fully understand how this SBI works). I’d like to keep things on the up and up.
Peace.
No worries. The more shares you have in SBI, the better. The beauty of the system is that it always benefits both parties. The one who sponsors and the one who gets sponsored. I know some people who have several hundred shares now. Each one adds a little bit to your vote. If we ever get rich, we would love to sponsor everyone every day :)
I agree with your observations. Commercial radio loops make me crazy.
I began crying one day when this sank in a bit. I had read Proganda by Endward Berneys and a few other books like it. It hurt to know.
Thank you for the book recommendation. It looks interesting.
A must read!
