Concert Venues

Good music makes it nearly impossible to believe or comprehend that our country is in such turmoil.

Listening to various performers while browsing the Net and reading about the financial disaster we face, the music soothes my soul and tells me that there’s no way a country that fostered these wonderful performers can be in such dire straits.

The melodies and refrains tell me all of us are amazing people. all of us have compassion, skill, integrity, spontaneity, and innocence. all of us like to have fun. all of us can get down and boogie all night, then get up in the morning all serious and go to work. Where did all this complicated, deceitful, financial mess come in? Should all of us take Congress out for a night on the town, make them dance till they sweat so they might remember how it feels to be human?

Do they contemplate anything but resources? might be they need to loosen up, remember that life is for living, not for being owned by someone, that the ample picture is this -  we are here. we can select to enjoy it, or we can select to try to control every facet of it and everyone involved.

They have forgotten how to live. They exist to feed, to control, to breed their kind, to be superior, to feel supreme.

Yet, the music still plays for me. If our nation is as desperate as it seems, if all hope is gone, then why hasn’t the music died?

I believe it lives because there still exists a large number of humans who haven’t forgotten what hopes and dreams mean. Through all of this turmoil, all of us continue to turn on the music, let our feet move, and sway to the beat of love, of life, of self-expression, and to the beat of our hearts saying all of us are still Americans, all of us are not to be defeated.

Rock n Roll on, Americans. Turn up the volume! They will have to hear us eventually! Let us make them dance to our tune!
