s where music comes in, it can without even realizing it become the leadership and inspiration for a resolution. This is the best way for an artist under those conditions to assert passive aggression and through music the artist is able to wake people up and make them think, make them feel inspired about how they can change things for the better. I order for a group not to fall into norm trap they have to be enlighten and have sincerity and truthfulness in it's leadership. The best thing is it doesn't take a whole gang to make this happen it only takes one, one persons music can become the voice of a group to its government. That is why you can bet the governments in the smaller less developed countries pay attention to the music of the people because it can be just as powerful a weapon as any military infantry division. The most popular example of the phenomenon would be BOB MARLEY with songs like "Stir It Up", "Exodus" and especially "Redemption Song" it's not hard figure why people where so attracted to his music. Just thinking of what he's singing about and hearing the sounds is like a five star dinner for the brain that you just can't say no to. "Emancipate yourself from inter slavery" is a lyric from Redemption Song that even the people of today can relate to, the purging and freeing of yourself from yourself to always try to see thing's from a different angel. Bob Marley was good making the listener see things from a different point of view and that is why he is one of my favorite artists. I think also that is why I prefer a reggae or calypso kind of music over Jazz or Blues because of the way the subject or theme is presented. Reggae always sounds like no matter what your problems or issues are there will always be another day and life is never as bad as it seems and when I listen to jazz or blues I don't get that at all very off center and unproductive. Though I do intend to listen to a lot more Jazz it doesn't hold...
