Good music makes it nearly impossible to believe or comprehend that our country is in such turmoil.
Listening to numerous artists while browsing the Net and reading about the financial disaster  all of us  face, the music soothes my soul and tells me that there’s no way a country that fostered these excellent artists may be in such dire straits.
The melodies and refrains tell me  all of us  are amazing individuals.  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 significant 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 may remember how it feels to be human?
Do they consider anything but resources? may be they need to loosen up, remember that life is for living, not for being owned by a person, that the ample picture is this:  all of us  are here.  all of us  can choose to enjoy it, or  all of us  can choose to try to control every facet of it and anyone 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 have not 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 on, Americans. Turn up the volume! They will have to hear us eventually! Let’s make them dance to our tune!
