Where is our Muse? Why does the music suck so bad in bad times?

Re: Where is our Muse? Why does the music suck so bad in bad times?

So we understand each other -the Muse that I speak of is not a Band.

The Muse I speak of a water nymphs. Sisters and Goddess.

The canonical nine Muses, with their fields of patronage, as established since the Renaissance, are:

* Calliope (the 'beautiful of speech'): chief of the muses and muse of epic or heroic poetry
* Clio (the 'glorious one'): muse of history
* Erato (the 'amorous one'): muse of love or erotic poetry, lyrics, and marriage songs
* Euterpe (the 'well-pleasing'): muse of music and lyric poetry
* Melpomene (the 'chanting one'): muse of tragedy
* Polyhymnia or Polymnia (the '[singer] of many hymns'): muse of sacred song, oratory, lyric, singing and rhetoric
* Terpsichore (the '[one who] delights in dance'): muse of choral song and dance
* Thalia (the 'blossoming one'): muse of comedy and bucolic poetry
* Urania (the 'celestial one'): muse of astronomy

"No Muse-poet grows conscious of the Muse except by experience of a woman in whom the Goddess is to some degree resident; just as no Apollonian poet can perform his proper function unless he lives under a monarchy or a quasi-monarchy. A Muse-poet falls in love, absolutely, and his true love is for him the embodiment of the Muse...

But the real, perpetually obsessed Muse-poet distinguishes between the Goddess as manifest in the supreme power, glory, wisdom and love of woman, and the individual woman whom the Goddess may make her instrument...

The Goddess abides; and perhaps he will again have knowledge of her through his experience of another woman...

Can-not everyone see the beauty in what I am saying?

Everyone speaks of Love and being gentle around here- these Muses are love personified and they can only become known through Love of another.

Now soberly I ask again. Pray they come forward and help us in our time of need.

I dare to say, Kanigo2, you have already been visited and touched by your Muse or you could not be as passionate or relentless as you are. Keep calling for her until she appears to you. I'm praying she comes through me tonight, through my music, to bring in more light and more love.

btw, yes you can.

State your intentions, Muse. I know you're there.
Dead bards who pined for you have said
You're bright as flame, but fickle as air.
My pen and I, submerged in liquid shade,
Much dark can spread, on days over reams
But without you, no radiance can shed.
Why rustle in the dark, when fledged with fire?
Craze the night with flails of light. Reave
Your turbid shroud. Bestow what I require.

But you're not in the dark. I do believe.
I swim, like liquid, in clouds of my own make,
To you, offensive. To us both, opaque.
What's constituted so, only a pen
Can penetrate. I have one here; let's go.
-Neil Stephenson, Quicksilver

I am Antipop; I run against the grain till the day I drop.
I am the Antipop; the man you cannot stop. -Primus

City Of Doom

Imprisoned in squalor, like a rat in a cage
A hopeless ignition explodes into rage
Poverty's chains cut with mocking intent
Desensitized humans with anger to vent

To offer a dream, but a nightmare provide
To build up hope then strip away pride
To trample the weak into the dust
Is to set a foundation for greed and lust

The rat is a fighter, the worm always turns
Where once there was apathy, pride now returns
The lesser will rise with fear as their friend
From the sewer of life you can only ascend

To offer no dream, and nowhere to run
To Build up hope in the form of a gun
To trample the good and the decent within
Is to set up a struggle that no one can win

Man is a lover and killer entwined
To be an extreme is to conquer the blind
Where one man falls another now stands
Ready for death with blood on his hands

Doom and Gloom
