Musical educations and the education of music (Online discussion #2)

We don't need no education / We don't need no thought control / No dark sarcasm in the classroom / Teachers leave them kids alone

Music and the brain (Online discussion #1)

It's poetry in motion / She turned her tender eyes to me / As deep as any ocean / As sweet as any harmony / Mm, but she blinded me with science

Music, cultural identity, and authenticity (Online discussion #10)

We didn't start the fire / It was always burning since the world's been turning / We didn't start the fire / No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

October 31, 2017November 7, 2017 drjonesmusic

The economics of music making (Online discussion #9)

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it / You play the guitar on the MTV / That ain't workin' that's the way you do it / Money for nothin' and chicks for free

Musicking (Online discussion #8)

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face / And stars fill my dream / I'm a traveler of both time and space / To be where I have been / To sit with elders of the gentle race / This world has seldom seen / They talk of days for which they sit and wait / All will be revealed

October 10, 2017October 17, 2017 drjonesmusic

Ludwig van Beethoven (Online discussion #7)

There goes my hero / Watch him as he goes / There goes my hero / He's ordinary

October 3, 2017October 10, 2017 drjonesmusic

Music and gender (Online discussion #6)

Well, I got a woman, way over town / That's good to me, oh yeah / Said I got a woman, way over town / Good to me, oh yeah / She gives me money when I'm in need / Yeah, she's a kind of friend indeed / I got a woman, way over town / That's good to me, oh yeah

Music and disability (Online discussion #5)

My hands are small, I know, / But they're not yours they are my own / But they're not yours they are my own / And I am never broken

September 19, 2017September 26, 2017 drjonesmusic

Music and war (Online discussion #4)

I said, war, huh good god, y'all / What is it good for? / Absolutely nothing say it again
