Moby was the subject for some time now: I wrote a message, which wouldn´t get on the list, maybe cauze I was using some radical statements without explanation ?
I wrote that he was stealing from black music, being white making weak music... and I blamed myself for beeing white . Well I didn´t mean to say something against participating and making "free music" in techno-culture, unless it´s stolen "they take it, fake it and break it" ... I heard a moby song, maybe it was "play", which must have climbed up in the charts (making lots of money) ,where he used some gospel kind of parts without the respect you should have, when you do sample, or use music of the black culture...created in a struggle for freedom ! In my ears he did use it in an arrogant way, maybe he didn´t meant to, but I think this happens, when you don´t have enough of respect and knowledge from the culture you´re "stealing" from... Yes, music should be free... and all who keep on fighting for this, have a good point... but this sometimes isn´t true... As this world is not free at all and some music is fighting for freedom, you shouln´t disrespect this music, when you do take out the message FOR FREEDOM this way ... If you deny the history and present this way, you´re acting like colonists, who don´t feel any problem for himself with the situation, so for him it doesn`t exist ? blaming the surface of my own colour of skin: I live in Germany and at the moment there´s a campaign of the conservatives "I´m proud to be a german". You have to realize: In Germany there are some violent radical racists who do KILL PEOPLE in Germany 2001 Why is it, that many black people in the USA live in Ghettos ? Why is it a subject for many black artists also in Detroit ? So why is that ? Cause the situation is good for all people on this planet and all are the same making free music ? If you look at the world-situation, you´ll find out, that many problems are build on racism.. And those having the power are mainly white people and the powers for a change by them, are as weak, as the respect to black music in moby´s music. One way out is to break the identity you´re given by birth, but still to face the reality of your own surface and the role you´re playing .. how can anyone accept a culture, as long as it´s breaking others apart ??? thanx for all given and coming comments ... sorry for my english and still there´s more coming up ;) m LVPLTZ2001 -- --------------------------- LoveThemPlanetZ peoplez plantz peaze pluz m ------------------------------------------------------------------ GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
