  1. funny, a cry for help, have you listened to any musics lyrics in the past oh say... humanities existence. we are weak creatures, and for are whole time upon this planet we have been making art and anything else to undue our torture, the one so brought on by whoever you think. haha, my chemical romance with "i'm not ok", or the whole blues sceve. yes they are defeated and hopeless people. blues is one of the things that kept slaves ok in dire needs, when everything is lost and broken. than after it was dressed up and kind of "whitisized" then it got to everything and ALSO, you specific point. have you read the poems of agnst. i am not taling about the ones in concentration camps, or the ones that have been beaten and pained beyond what any typical human (dont infer too much, just a person who cdoesnt have to worry if he is going to eat, or die today. i am talking about the rich peopel. you know... the thoreau type... if you know his philosophies you might also know that he was loaded.. and after his time at the howse he well... pimped hismelf out. how about eternal sunshine for a spotless dream. comes from a poem about how love is so hard, and its almost a hell in which god has created. haha. what a crock, spoiled... listen to britney and chritina, or probably even the group or person that you are thinking of that totally refutes my thoughts... is one that talks of life and its sorrow.. so then... isnt it a way to express onself, and to rise above it.? how do you think each of one those muscians feel after they get off the stage.. i can tell you that it somtimes feels better than getting laid. your thoughts are partiall right but also wrong, granted you are right in that they are depressed and how we are societal rebels. but wow, i dont see how ou cannot see... that rock music encompasses the whole (rebel thing) and they do it in a sex and drugs way, not in a drugs and look into ones life like jazz people do. every feeling you hvae against those others... is the same as i and others have against you. but we think our logic is better, or for the most part it is the (i just like it becuase i do). at that point nothing gets done, and we are seperated. i just wonder how country musician, rock musician, jazz mucisian, and everyone inbetween and around and on top, have thbe ability to JAM together.. does that mean anything, minus how it sounds, minus the politics, minus the emotional logic we so dearly hold onto... anyways, have a good day. yhour music is your music...
  2. I think jazz is just an extention of ones mind. There was a time when i thought only classical and "jazz" (including all variations) were important, and really worth listening too. The complexity, thought, and richness of each both these genres are much better for lack of words better than other music. music industry of today is pitiful. The quality of music no longer hinges on practice, progression, and love, but rater on how much money we make and how Bling we are( all the other genres suck too, i just choose rap for this instance) some people might try and dissagree with me, and point out to the soloists that have taken blues, rock, or whatever to the limit. ie... hendrix, king, cobain, blah blah. Then i say, ok, lets see each of them solo over confirmation, NOT USING THE BLUES SCALE, OR THE PENTATONIC. A true musician uses them all. There are no scales in music if you look at it in a way. its funny becuase in any scale, there exists all the notes. From one tone to the octiave all the notes are in there, in between. unless we are in the middle east or china. Plus the bebop, (which uses the bebop scale) operates on molsty halfsteps, and not the usual forths and minor thirds that so many guitarists love to do. and no i am not picking on anyone. i am a guitar player also. to be honest. music is music. you can say soemthing is better, or more something, or even worse...... but really it is all the same. Do you think jazz was always mature and a great thing? What do you think Charlie parker, miles davis, or duke ellington, hell coltrane thought when they were performing. oh.. jazz is ok, there is no room for progression, so hey lets just play the same stuff. in a way they themselves did not like jazz.. they knew it could become better. even when i hear a horrible song in terms of that, i still know that if the person took the time and effort they coudl change the song to become the same and even better than what was thought before.. only its up to them.. even if jazz is so fast, so much more complex, and requires more knowledge of music than most other types, then why can you turn on a blues tune, or a little john mayor song, some Sintatra, some nickcle back, or whatever. and still just follow the beat with your foot, with your mind, with your heart... it moves you... your soul. any music can do it. jazz is a performance, but just one that is a little more involved than the rest. it is neither better nor worse. it it just different.... and yet the same
