Should We Stop To Smell the Roses?

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet and any other person on the metro would smell better than a musically inclined hobo. Does it take an unemployment and homelessness to drive modern mankind into listening to musical masterpieces? The sad result, is yes, yes indeed. Joshua Bell was use to earning $1,ooo a minute for his music and was brought down to around $0.50 a minute when he played in the New York Subway. Some observers view this just as an effect of the context of Bell and his violin, and the station. It is not as if he is presenting for a well known Opera House on a Friday night...it is simply another grungy morning on the metro? Is taste and class lost among the future generations of mankind? Quite possibly.

Despite people honoring Bell at his shows, the public was at it's truest barren state when they we getting off the trains in lee for work, family and friends. The music would only impede there way if they found it irritating. Minors are no longer for music, for the minor, rather miner amount of people actually listening to the words behind the sounds of the violin chords.

Entertainment is a Reflection of Our Culture....

Entertainment is a reflection of culture...being bounced off of a carnival fun house mirror. The reflection exists, yet it is not a clear representation of the viewer. When Marilyn Manson was under attack for his music being a leader attribute to the thought processes and actions behind the boys in fault for the Columbine High School shooting for the fact that people did not like him and would simply act out against his music. Manson explained how people use media entertainment as an outlet to pin down faults within out society. One might say that the playing of video games are a prime example in promoting violence among the children in America, while the real issue exist with the parents allowing the children to play these games. At a preschool I work at, one of the five year olds plays Call of Duty...what is his parental figure thinking? Not only is the kid going to grow up believing that shooting people on a daily basis is totally acceptable, society is going to spew it right back that because we have a violent culture we must enjoy violent games. I enjoyed Manson's reference to the movie, "The Basketball Diaries" in how films are a target for a populations fault. Considering the fact that I am not a heroine addict that loves to play basketball and has a side job as a prostitute to earn income for said heroine, I find it safe to say that movies and entertainment are not cookie cutter shapes of the culture at hand. Leonardo Di Caprio is just entertaining to watch as a heroine addict that loves to play basketball.

Slide Show Indiefest 2012

Well, it will probably not be as big as 127 Hours of 500 Days of Summer, but my partner and I have an interesting slide show to present this Monday (or Wednesday). The more we are looking into the project the subject, commuter lounge employees, the more we discover how nt horrible...but shall we say unique poor employee qualities a few members may or may not have. If were any other work place these girls (majority female work place) would be fired. Zip. Squash fired. No wonder a few members did not want their pictures taken with their names!!! It shall be interesting to present. Hopefully we do not slander any workers too .....harshly?
