Music and mood.

[beachguy in thongs]

Ganj, I missed the opening act because I wanted to get in some quality beer drinking, I saw Bryan Adams, he was cool, Def Leppard rocked, especially, "Let's Get Rocked".

Told ya I'd remember you, I, even, remembered some details but I figure I wouldn't bore you.

I think Billy Corgins ZWAN band that only put out one CD was pretty cool.

Great thread, Ousted ....

I like my music (and movies) complex, thought provoking, and meaningful. No happy music for me. Not unexpected from a guy who grew up in the turbulent 60's / 70's.

Songwriters writing protest and anti-war songs risked their lives / careers, but that made a difference in this country. We all had friends and relatives getting killed in Viet Nam, so the music had real meaning and importance to us. Sometimes I wonder why a similiar music movement hasn't sprouted in today's world.

Also, nothing like getting high listening to songs with hidden drug meanings (Puff the Magic Dragon, White Rabbit). Back in the day, you couldn't make direct references to sex, drugs, or interracial relationships (Brown Sugar).

More specific to the topic, yes, songs affect your mood very directly. It makes me think why people (including myself) love to listen to the blues. I like going to the sad places in music and movies. And I still have a sick anarchy music attraction, music from Marilyn Manson, Sex Pistols or Alice Cooper. What does that say about me as a person??

Anyway, if I could find a college level course on this topic, I'd love to take it, especially with other students of different generations.

This is the end .... my only friend, the end.

it hurts to set you free, but youll never follow me

yeah...the music has to have meaning...

i want to start a band were we do the exact same thing they did in the 60s and 70s...try to sing about something, but make it sound like something else...

and then add an industrial-type sound...like a mix of the rolling stones and NIN...

any drummers here in the red river valley area??? preferably near moorhead/fargo???
