Music For the Masses

    Do you ever wake with music in your head? The lyrics in a language from before speech, universal; heard as much as spoken. This is the origin of Soul, of the Blues. It is Alternative, World Music in it's purest form. When you wake and the last vivid chords slip between sleep's clutching fingers it is not forgotten, simply passed on to the next listening sleeper.
      There is a rock concert in the Music of the Spheres. It was recorded on a CD that skips. The coolest of the gods plays guitar, the meanest plays drums. They are backed by choirs of angels and remixed by a DJ from hell. Sometimes, it can be heard even waking, sliding into the silence where nothing else abides. Divine and damning, created for the saint and the mad man equally, it binds us. All you have to do is listen.
