so the music plays in the background and i sit here.
alright. i have been passed the baton. the baton for what, you ask? well, it is a complicated baton. a baton that has many facets. However, it turns out i am free to choose which facet i wish to spend the rest of my life in. well, perhaps not the rest of my life, but some good time.
what am i talking about? i think i am talking about music. i think that is exactly what i am talking about. i think i am talking about new music and the world it exists in and the who, what, where, when, and gosh darn it WHY!--of it all.
paul bailey is the ringleader of an emsemble known as the paul bailey ensemble. he is also someone with a lot of good things to say about music. somehow, he got the impression that i have good things to say about music. well, i have things to say about music that a lot of people do not want to hear. it's to the point that it's caused problems in a few of my classes. i do not regret the things that i said in these classes because whether i am right or wrong, i said it. i made people interested in the topic. i stirred up controversy. i think that was important.
there is a huge problem with the discussion of music from a historical analytical perspective. there is something called "positivist musicology" which means fairly much what you think it means. musicology that looks at all music as just fine. they refuse to take into consideration the social implications of the music that has been created. it is outrageous to think that music is without consequence and without influence from society. well, there you have it. the tip of the iceberg.
ok paul. ok paul. here i am. here i go. let's see what happens.
