If you can't stand American Idol and stuff like that, rest assured that many young people have other musical interests. Search for "School of Rock All Stars" on YouTube and you'll find some amazingly talented acts. None of my peers were this good when I was their age. The internet probably makes it much easier to learn guitar techniques now.

Some great stuff there and it is encouraging to see kids are doing it for themselves.
Michael Moore's new film opens soon and they have given it an 'R' rating presumably to keep the kids out because there is no sex and gore other than what you get on the 6 pm news. Helpfully on his web site Michael Moore have given helpful hints on his website on how kids can circumvent this restriction and get in to see his movie. He and Glenn Greenwald are hoping for it to be completely subversive and have great faith in this generation. http://michaelmoore.com/WhereToInvadeNextTeens/

I'm reminded of the great Marlon Brando line in Apocalypse Now: "They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write 'fuck' on their airplanes because it is obscene." And yes, you too can sound like Hendrix!

Love Michael Moore's next film title.... right on the nail. And his message to the kids too. The guy has style.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14 |
