I still don´t understand the conclusion - We shall stop talking about the too heavy too complicated subject ? I thought we want to talk and learn about 313-music and art, right ? So when we hear and read that there are also black-related subjects in the music, in artwork, in lyrics and in interviews, I would think this is quite a good place to talk and learn about some of the background of this art - and so I will repeat this here - Just take a title of a record like - Ebonics - by Theo Parrish - the subject is in the title - you can hear the vocal-samples directly dedicated to the subject Now just count the postings done here about record-numbers and id´s of Mr. Parrish´s records and mixes (which is great) - but now put this amount against the number of people talking about the record-titles, the meanings of his art some including black related subjects- you come up with a number 100:0 = 100-mixes vs 0-messages ? now have you ever heard of a simple phenomenon called "silent majority" ? "no no, not us here ?? - preaching to the converted ?" how should I know, when I see the majority relation about 100:0 I would like to talk about the black messages in the art - to learn and understand - because some music in music-culture is also connected with sending information with teaching and communication in various ways - I would like to understand more - 4 some understanding it´s good to communicate - and this is what this list is made 4 - to chat and learn about the music and art some artists have a focus on non-messages - want the music to speak without words - others mix the music with other things and thoughts that move them - but all the people pushing the black messages into the racistic corner, by calling it off-topic, too heavy or too academic to talk about it, or keep preaching on it´s "only music" are making the debate very strange and this avoids getting closer to the art - this won´t help in the deeper understanding of much music-art coming from Detroit - still thanx 4 the books - m planetz2002 -- LoveThemPlanetZ peoplez plantz peaze pluz m GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
