Hey Matt,

I really appreciate it! For some reason I haven’t been able to get into the Grateful Dead I dunno why. There’s some good blues stuff out there for sure, I like some of the more modern stuff that fuses blues elements with rock/industrial like some of Manson’s stuff for example.

It would be much appreciated if you could spread the love, I agree, music is definitely a powerful tool for enjoyment, healing, etc.

Thanks again for tuning in, 🙂

I LOVE this site or your love of music. I too absolutely LOVE music…many different kinds. I prefer jam bands like Widespread Panic, Phish or the Grateful Dead, but the Blues are great too and jazz. Your articles are fantastic! I could put a link on my site to your site, since most people value music in their lives and it helps a lot of people.

Hey John,

That’s a good example but it almost sounds like a music “possession” more than addiction in that case. The trendy dance moves do tend to get old pretty quick since a lot of the “hit singles” have a dance to go with the songs now ha.
For sure self control definitely plays a factor. There will be much more content of this type for you to read in the future.
Thanks for stopping by, it’s always appreciated.

Hi Dom,
Enjoyed the read about “M.A.D”. I think I know some people who might actually have this lol. My GF’s daughter, and even half of her sports team exhibit signs at every game. It’s like when certain songs come on, they lose all ability to concentrate and pay attention to their coach, what they are doing, etc. They begin doing little trendy dance moves, even while the coach is trying to talk to them. So, I think in some cases, it can be a type of addiction.

Don’t get me wrong, I love music (not all music), I play the guitar. And it can get you out of certain moods, or into certain moods. So, it obviously does affect our souls. I think some people just have self-control issues.

Enjoyed, the read, and will drop back in and read other posts and see what’s new.

Thanks,
John
