An elite minority of musicians must function to preserve traditional music. Most musicians will simply follow the herd. What remains are the visionaries.
This is a lonely and hard path. Warriors walk alone.
Mind you, all of them have their purpose. All of them great art that possesses meaning. All of them are worthy of respect. All deserve fair treatment in the fiscal / financial aspects of music.
Text by Dawoud Kringle
“The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.” – William Shakespeare (The Merchant of Venice, act 5, scene 1)
On Friday, August 11th, 2017, white nationalists chose the largely liberal town of Charlottesville (Virginia) to stage a protest march. The alt-right, of whom white nationalists and white supremacists are an integral part. met with counter protesters. Violence and bloodshed erupted when an alt-rightist, in an indisputable an act of domestic terrorism, drove a car into a crowd of protesters, killing one and injuring several.
I, Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi (DooBeeDoo chief editor) and Dawoud Kringle (DooBeeDoo main contributor) stand against white supremacy and the deadly violence committed by the alt-right or Nazi groups in Charlottesville (VA) last weekend.
