In an age of video wallpaper and aural anesthesia,

Music has become a prostitute.

No longer is it a gift from the gods;



It has become a pacifier,

a tranquilizer,

and a tool.



A tool to protect us from loneliness,

to entice us to buy

and to keep us from seeing

how bad things have become.



At one time,

music was a vital experience,

it was physical,

emotional,

almost religious.



Today music is just

one more device

used by the new sun

called civilization

to control itself
