Music
"The Spiritual American road goes on forever. IT leads across the great divide that separates all of us, out cultural and ethnic walls. Our unique and oblique art form, the popular song, leaps the barriers that our instructed intolerances build. The most racist redneck becomes a jerky rag doll when he hears a Stax classic and the angry black separatist weeps to the saddest George Jones song. It's all the same indescribable communication that songs telegraph to our souls. The lyric that says the right thing at the right time. The melody that breaks our hear or makes us dance with joyous abandon. We take them into the private corners of out hearts so we can sometime remind ourselves in this mean old world what it's like to be human, to love and to be loved." |
