Much of the music of that period was "inward turning and outward reaching". A lot of self examination and exploration was input into a popular artform for the masses. That worked really well.

It goes beyond mere entertainment. xponent Spiritual Search On The Commons Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
