Conversations from the Write On Chronicles
Part 3 - Eardrumming
- Why do you listen to that crap?
- Hello? Can you hear me?
- TURN OFF THAT DEVIL MUSIC!!!
* Aw Auntie J, you are so outdated.
- Me? Outdated? Girl, I been around and I know a lot! I know that music is no good.
* And just what is wrong with it?
- There's a number of things wrong with it. #1 - They are not sending a good message.
* Haven't you ever acted bad or cussed before?
- Yes, but that was before I thought about what God wants in my life. Now I'm concerned with what He thinks about everything I do. Partying, getting high or drunk, flashing jewelry and money is not holy.
* Tru dat. You said #1. Is something else wrong with my DEVIL music?
- A few years ago there was a music war between East and West portrayed to the public. These rappers fought openly in lyrics on their CDs to each other. Do you remember that?
* Yes and they both were killed.
- Right. Well, what makes you think the music industry has changed? It hasn't.
* You know there is a flashy group down south that seems to be shunned by everyone else. Hmmmm...

Black people

The sour breath of the beast.

Controlling the heart
