All,

Sorry I haven't been around lately. With luck, I'll be a
Dad before Christmas (the Solstice is actually our due date).
I've dropped off Tuning too, but I'm sticking around on MMM,
tuning-math, and SpecMus, and I hope to participate a bit on
the Tonescape group and on Keenan Pepper's new Wikiproject...

Rather than try to reply to the hanging thread(s), I'll
leave you with a final thought: Love is revolutionary.

I read an article on this somewhere recently. The author
said that civilization is to the point where simply loving
is an act of revolution.

I agree, except it must have always been so. While we might
like it if there were more love in the world, I don't know
that this means we're in bad shape, historically speaking.

And in fact all actions are actions of revolution, practical
statements of the place you want to be -- this is the core
idea behind my criticism of politics as it is usually
practiced.

Having a baby is revolutionary. Especially, in the West,
if the Mom is under 30. In the West, having a baby outside
of a hospital is revolutionary. Check out the work of
Michel Odent, who correctly frames the issue "in terms of
civilization".

Whatever school of political thought we're partial to,
whether we want footpaths or superhighways, love speaks the
same message to us, by virtue of our being human. Even
nihilists, I bet. (Just as serialists can recognize JI?)

So here's to everybody who loves anybody.

Carl,

Super sweet - what blessed news! Why, it seems like just yesterday you
married the lovely mum! :) I like the spelling of the subject line,
and am in complete agreement on the subject of love. More, more, more,
all the time. It is truly the one thing that can't hurt (except for
achy-breaky hearts).

My very best to you and your wife, and we'll look forward to the new
person making their place in this world. He/she is starting with a
decided advantage...

Very best regards,
Jon

Seems to me that things haven't changed much in the last
2000 years ... Jesus Christ's message was to love everyone,
and it was considered quite revolutionary at the time.

Heh - just a spelling mistake, but glad it worked out.

I just found this quote, right in line with this thread:

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power
the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix

Culled from a page full of quotes by musicians,
some about music, some about other stuff:
