This position statement cracked me up.
The Society for Ethnomusicology
* calls for full disclosure of U.S. government-sanctioned and funded programs that design the means of delivering music as torture;
* condemns the use of music as an instrument of torture; and
* demands that the United States government and its agencies cease using music as an instrument of physical and psychological torture.
I bet there are countless parents who would like to print and post that statement on the bedroom doors of their teenagers.
Teenagers in turn want mom and dad to knock off the classical music, opera and golden oldies.
Gee...I definitely want to take a copy to the gym with me today and tell them enough with the rap music while I am trying to lift - it's torture.
If we keep at it...maybe all the world will be silent and then surely someone will issue a position about that. After all, "silence is deadly," too.
Music....it's all relative.
Still, I wish they would change the channel from time to time at the gym.
What do you think?
