Music Fusion

I think living in this day an age has been the best time for music. Anybody with a computer and an internet connection can explore the world of music. And with that exploration done by so many people there has been a fusion of music, which is great!!

I watched "Rachel Getting Married" and the wedding party was like the epitome of any party I would love to go too. From folk music to Samba, to hip hop, to Indian Music. Everybody at that party felt the good vibe of the instruments and felt the good times. That's what music comes does to you.

Even your favorite artist now days are not even totally soaked into there own Genre of Music. Lil Wayne' listens to the Ting Tings, Metallica, and other hardcore rock. P. Diddy says that his favorite bands are Silversun Pickups and Arctic Monkeys. WHO KNEW!!! On my part my Play list may go from Qtip (I'm listening to right now, let me put next to see what comes up) to the Rolling Stones (im not kidding with you!) My whole library is a mix of all types of music I have Saul Vera (thanks Sarai) to Gypsie Kings (GRINKO!!) and some suprirising hidden likes like Lilly Allen (thanks to Jo) to Yo Yo Ma (Classical Cello Player, LOVE THE MUSIC!!!!) All im saying is that now you can't be closed or narrowing yourself to certain genres of music because that fits your description. Your description can be as vast as how many types of music there are in the world!!!

What Happen with "Yes we Can"

It seems to me like "Yes we Can" was only to elect a President of our liking. A new power that was actually posted up there by the people. But what happen now? We elected him but now most of the people that elected him have forgotten about politics. I talked to many of the people that were there in the front lines to elect him and now don't even know were his at in the world, what he's doing for the world, or what he's doing for the country. I seriously thought that this was the turn when young voters not only stood in the line to have their voice heard but would keep their voice up and keep shouting at the government for more change.
But what i see now is a repeat of every other time. We leave it now for the people we elected to do the job for us. Sound like outsourcing don't you think. . .
I'm not gonna preach if I don't do it myself. I try to listen to the news on the radio. Follow the news on the internet or watch little segments on TV. You'll never get the truth from one source but if you look at different sources you'll then pick up the truths here and there. Takes 15 min while in traffic to listen, 15 min reading google news for the top stories, and like 10 min of mindless watching on the tv to get the info of the day. Why not do it?
