there we go again

Ok so i am a student in Ft Worth who is infatuated with music.

Not only am i completely obsessed with the particles of air that are moved when i put on anytime of cd/cassette/record or mp3 file, i am a student of the craft. Currently majoring in music at the College at Southwestern.

Another important fact about me is that i am a follower of Jesus Christ. This will become more evident when we trek along in our conversations for steadfastly.

Basically what this is is an attempt to bring people to the realization that music, if used in certain ways can move people into action. When John Lennon died, people reacted. Why? Because his music said something. Not only does his music say something, it says something important, thats why people reacted.

Now that we've established that fact, we can move on to the question of this particular blog. Does music describe a generation or does the generation describe the music?

Nirvana, did Nirvana bring out what was already in place, or did Nirvana put into place what they brought out?

Did Bach bring out what his generation was going through, or did Bach put into place what his generation was going through?

Is Britney Spears and T-Pain expounding on what is already in place in our generation, or are they actually the ones defining our generation?

Why does this matter? Because if we can be moved so much by songs and music in general, then we have become a generation that is not strong in anything at all, if Nirvana can establish a sense of "anti-establishment"(which might be a contradiction) and make us buy into it, then we just go off and buy the next matchbox twenty album(which im not hating, those are good guys) then what have we been rooted in? Nothing.
