All music is sacred

[lbbc]

All music is sacred to someone! There's a lot I don't like and a lot that I do. I respect anyone's willingness to write, record and play their own stuff..

 

[Slade N]

Ummm, I did not use or understand the word "sacred" here literally (as in holy, of God or transcendental etc.) I think "Noble" or "Highly Valued" might be a better analogy if that helps. Never the less I stand behind my original statement.

either way my statement applies. both require believe in that “value”. if I believe that something has value and you don’t, then it doesn’t, for you

Kurt Vonnegut once said that all music is sacred.

I disagree, some music is garbage.

I bet Kurt was picturing moving pieces like Wango Tango.

I could name at least one genre of music that would fall under your description

An entire genre? Wow.

Which one could it be??

One man's garbage is another's treasure..

 

[stringthrough]

In the long run it doesn't matter either way

 

[TheReceder]

I'm glad garbage isn't, and the Music Garbage makes isn't... but it is garbage... even though it's not.

Everything that ever was, is now, or will be until the end of time in this universe is, at it's most basic level, nothing more than an infinitesimally small vibration in the fabric of spacetime. It stands to reason, then, that music, as close to an image of creation as you will ever find, is a celebration of the energy at the heart of this reality... Divine, sacred...



Or perhaps I smoked too much before reading Michio Kaku's Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory...

As others have noted one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

Perhaps all music is sacred to someone might be a stronger argument?

 

[Winslow]

Which bass is best for sacred?

I kinda like this one:

Fender's releasing a new model specifically made for church bassists and/or players exasperated with their situation:

 

[MegaSwing]

There’s an ass for every saddle.

 

[Tommyc]

Is nothing sacred?

Hi Paul New

Is everything, like, relative, or what?

maybe?

Albert Einstein: “I know that most joy in my life has come to me from my violin,”

In that case, I fully respect your art because it gives you fulfillment and satisfaction.

Vonnegut beer:

“I gotta get me one a These!”

 

[BassBrass]

Is nothing sacred?

I saw this in my father's Playboy magazine and laughed and laughed. Other Gahan Wilson punchlines of note were: Young Rand McNally in the backseat: "turn here" and "Death ray? Fidddlesticks! It doesn't even slow them up!"

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

Rap and hip hop can be described with an S word, but sacred isn't it.

And will all believe in it.

 

[bholder]

I can go with all music being sacred, meaning the music only. Lyrics, not being part of the music, can be decidedly un-sacred. But that's not the fault of the music used.
