What do you have against spoken word poetry

Who said I didn't like it? Maybe the "S" word I was talking about is "Superb" or "Satisfying".

You buying this?

I thought the title was "All music is scared".

Probably that too.

I’m dyslexic... that’s exactly what my brain said my eyes were reading...

No more religious than your High Pass Everything avatar. (You-people are proliferating, I'll have to read your scripture, see if it has validity in my world...) Anyway, for something to be considered religious it has to be referring to a religion, which this discussion Is Not (except for the people who make the semantic distinction between sacred and secular music categories found in a few traditions). You posted a definition from your chosen source that does not mean religious, it can mean "respected" or revered with no reference to a religion at all.

There is No Secular Music
How Tom Waits, Kendrick Lamar, and Beck blend the sacred and secular.

The link is to a Christian type site--but he does discuss the same idea & deals with three artists who are not thought of as religious--so no rule breaking is intended--just furthering the idea express way back in the initial post & not calling anybody out--just sharing.

Frank Zappa once declared that Philosophy of the World, a discordant, little-heard rock record from 1969 by four unknown sisters who called themselves the Shaggs, was “better than the Beatles.”

Hi folks

Kurt Vonnegut also said:

"The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

and he said:

“To be is to do - Socrates

To do is to be - Sartre

Do Be Do Be Do - Sinatra”

and:

“True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.”

and a really funny one:

“Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand.”


I like the guy!


greetings

Kurt Vonnegut once said that all music is sacred.

I disagree, some music is garbage.

Agree but
I love me some Vonnegut tho !

Only in America ..where someone with no musical ability becomes a writer/performing artist and millionaire
