"What Music Is To You" or "Another Seil Thread That No One Will Comment In"

[Seil]

Boogers, you goobers.



The King Arthur movie stunk, what else is new? Blockbuster movie turns book into battle sequence starring "Lord Of The Rings," "Gladiator" and "Hop On Pop."

...Was Gladiator a book? I don't know.

But there was some okay music in King Arthur (see above.) Now, music plays a big role in my life. It was how I first identified with my dad. My mum took my brothers and I to a performance of The Magic Flute when we were young. My mother's weird, she's a music teacher.

The point is that as I grew up, music was a big part of my life. I dressed up as Pavarotti for Halloween one year. (Again, my mum was a music prof.) My dad showed me the glory of Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen. I went out to see Deathcab For Cutie and Ra Ra Riot in concert.

Why do I bring up that and King Arthur at the same time? Because Kate Rusby. Because of The High Kings. Because of The Great Big Sea.

Because music is far older than anyone knows.



And it's gonna be there long after we're gone.

So what is it you you?

I could probably have used something older than Irish folk, but what with video games, folk music could be considered pop music:

Music is expected. Music is stereotype. Music is parody.
