I always knew there was a reason rock 'n' roll would never die! This new Rolling Stones song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPFGWVKXxm0 (Uh-oh. Guess you'll have to cut and paste into your browser. Worth it!) gives its own lyrics that upbeat punch that can help us turn away from what we see and hear all around us. The more we're inundated with "doom and gloom," the more we're directly challenged to affirm the universal GOODness that permeates all of life. Here on earth we're surrounded by media-enhanced "bad news" and fearmongering. Fearmongering has become a strategy of our current administration and the naysayers on both sides of the political fence. It's like everywhere you turn, every periodical you read...
But it ain't so. You have to dig deep, keep your glowing eyes open and plunge into the fundament of reality....all Light! All fluctuating microparticles designed to fulfill certain divinely designed processes and outcomes. Why music can shift our perceptions, I don't know, but I wish I could bottle and sell it! Rock 'n' roll has that particularly "flyaway" quality--especially when you turn it up.... and DANCE!
Baby, won't you dance with me?
