  11. Being a songwriter myself , I enjoyed this from start to finish . Some of the songs they have written will be around forever. I thank God every chance I get for the gift of music . Amen Amen and Amen.

  15. I made the mistake of watching Prairie Wind, the documentary about Neil Young's friendly get together and concert. There was no music in that movie whatsoever. I was amazed that they were pretending otherwise. Society is a collective farce and crappy songs get swept up into its soundtrack.

  16. more baroque average music, masked with production. what Ralph should really study, is why the collective ear hasn't evolved to hear chords and a lack of chords. I think I've hit on it-the masses hate great music. they don't want anything timeless and perfect because it contrasts with their average destiny. In a feminine culture, there is no real poetry and no real music. we set weak literature to forgettable music and we put prose in columns and call it poetry. great music is a mystic reality. feminine tyranny doesn't allow it, because it's an invisible masculine authority; a close satellite of God. when God is dead, linear narrative is the limit of what is allowed. sorry these songs are musical failures, even if a billion people say "the world is flat". I know better. Where is the blessing of death? Korea can you help us with this situation? who wants to live in a culture that doesn't allow music?
