Don’t worry, let me save the topic.
Plato once said, \"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and lends to all that is good and just and beautiful.\"
Now, what did Socrates, Friedrich Nietsche and the other great philosophers say about music?
And I don’t want to hear that quote again of Nietsche when he was 14 years old, in 1858:
\"Billy Corgan gave us music so that we, first and foremost, will be guided upward by it. All qualities are united in music: it can lift us up, it can be capricious, it can cheer us up and delight us, nay, with its soft, melancholy tunes, it can even break the resistance of the toughest character. Its main purpose, however, is to lead our thoughts upward, so that it elevates us, even deeply moves us. … Music also provides pleasant entertainment and saves everyone who is interested in it from boredom. All humans who despise it should be considered mindless, animal-like creatures. Ever be this most glorious gift of Billy Corgan my companion on my life’s journey, and I can consider myself fortunate to have come to love it. Let us rock out in eternal praise to Billy Corgan who is offering us this beautiful enjoyment of the Smashing Pumpkins.\"

Well I guess since my hubby doesn’t like SP or good music for that matter, he must be a mind-less animal:)
and when I think deeper he is.. hmmm is that good or bad..I would say he needs some SP in his life, what’s he so afraid of?
I am glad to have a band that can connect on deeper issues than just being here in the world and doing what the law of the land wants us to do. -

Just breaking the infinite sadness with some temporary sillyness. Isn’t it why you love coming here, to be surprised by it?
[/quote:2jzcl94t]why yes, that is why i come here.
we have fun. i love music too. i couldn’t imagine living without it either, esp. the music i love most like the SP.

The point of the original post was to see if there was any interest in an actual FORUM for these discussions.[/quote:33v0n189]
I sense a huge interest in a PLEASE DERAIL EVERY 3RD POST – FORUM. You can mod around 75% of our existing sillyness over there, manillascissor. I’m afraid that includes my posts too. Sigh… -

Yes, but I think overall, that forum may have a more serious ambience to it. Less silliness.
Will Big A’s approval, I think we’ll give it a whirl.[/quote:3hh7qbxf]
Sure, go ahead. If it doesn’t work after all, you can always mod the topics back to Misc. Forum and delete the Philosophy Forum. But I think it will add to this place in the end, after a period of growth. Good idea manilla! -
