    I don't even want to argue with this bambi person, the level of ignorance displayed is appalling. This coming from a male btw! This is also why I ABSOLUTELY hate labeling. Try to label me! Just do it! You will fail every time. Conservative, liberal, libertarian! it is all a load of crap! I personally feel that the majority of our problems in this country stem from the fact that we have only 2 real parties to pick from and everyone is pigeonholed into either one or the other! You can claim to be an independent but when you step into the voting booth you are either a republican or a democrat. There is no we the people, it is now we the party and everyone is trying to blame one another for the shape that our country is in. George warned us long ago that the parties would divide America and it is happening. Even in a place like the Gulch where we are supposed to be freethinkers we cling to our party ties and throw accusations at anything that can be clumped into a group and blamed for our current situation!

    Music was very influential to Ayn Rand and there are several posts in the Gulch exploring the topic. Myself, I am forever fascinated at Gulcher's love of music- from classical to some wonderful Objectivist raps. Music is part of the equation for sure

    I made an earlier comment on the waste of time and space from the comments about music, but it seems other subjects just as silly are being commented on at this site. Are there really so few intelligent people left that have ant sense of propriety. People, please let's stick to the purpose of this site.

    Thank you,

    fred,
    All those topics are discussed in this forum. there is also a fair amount of meandering. There is only one thing most on this site share, and that is the desire to promote the AS movies. Most everything else is fair game. How comfortable are you maneuvering through the site? You can go up to the top and click philosophy for example and find all the posts that discuss it. Or politics or government. Most of us lead driven lives and enjoy the occasional letting down of our hair so to speak. If you find a producer whose comments you identify with, click on their name-you will go directly to all their posts and if you click the drop down box under their name, you can hit comments and follow their most recent comments on other posts. We are not a dedicated Objectivist forum. For many in here, this an introduction to Ayn Rand. I suggest that you create a post where you frame up the discussion and give some parameters to that specific post.
    Music is very important in peoples' lives. check out this post the regarding a Mises discussion on the importance of art by Objectivist and GG guest vinay

    I agree with both Mimi and Pirate - we have a plethora of producing artists here on the board, and by enjoying their work (and supporting their endeavors) we not only enrichen them, but get the benefit of being enrichened by their art.

    To, to paraphrase my 2 cohorts here, this board is a fertile garden for viewpoints - plant a seed.

    Perhaps you are unaware that some of us here in the Gulch use music not only for it's enjoyment value and getting away from the always serious, but also that is one way we are productive. I think AR certainly saw value in music, and I doubt she was adverse to some levity either.

    If you want something deep I agree with Mini, start a thread.

    Or worse, exploited by the sociomarxists for their own evil purposes... face it - the Marxists used women so they could get power on false promises by having women push their false doctrine in the name of "social justice" with the BS promise of "We'll get you the vote".

    They backed the Suffaragists for their own evil intent. Look at the timeline - when was the Marxist Doctrine extablished (in 1848), and when did the sufferagists start to hold sway?

    IF we weren't later denied what was once given us as our right when our country was a babe, the marxists and their horsepatootie doctrine wouldn't have had us to carry their weight and shoved their filthy banners in our hands giving us the lie "We're here for you, comrade"... we were opportunity for a cheap and easy laborforce for their game, and they used us.

    They were there for themselves. They always are. Ans you can smell that stink a mile away. And what's sad is you can smell it creeping in on this board, trying to divide us and conquer.

    BAH!!!

    You got a point. I do enjoy the more in-depth threads. Easy remedy: start a topic, Fred.

    I foolishly assumed this was an opportunity to engage in discussions on the philosophy of Ayn Rand, about the movie Atlas Shrugged or even commentary on the political influences of today.

    How did we get to silly commentary about music and whether it's good or not. Are there not enough other sites to discuss music?

    I have his Unknown Territory album in my library. What strikes me is how few people know of him... Even people I have known for years in the industry... Very under-appreciated... I've never had occasion to surf anything but the net, but I dig surf music. :)

    I haven't heard that in forever. I'm going to hunt for the tabs on that one. I think it's pretty much the same as rumble.

    How about a bit of Dick Dale this afternoon....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIvfVyyqTDI

    I saw Fogerty in concert two years ago ... I think... it could be three. He looked amazing (he is 68 now) and of course sounded likewise. Like so many greats, he has his own immediately recognizable unique sound.
