Mohawk anyone? I thought not. But then again maybe. Who knows.
I have this midterm in my popular music class tonight and I spent much of the night studying for it. So I thought I would share some of my vast knowledge (compared to some people) with you. There are 3 main functions of music according to my prof., 2 that we should know and one that he didn't feel like telling us.
The first is that music connects the inner and outer self. I think this is why people listen to depressing music when they are sad and why girls listen to Alanis Morisette when they break up with their boyfriends.
The second is that music marks the passage of time, which is why when I hear certain songs such as semi-charmed life by third eye blind I can picture myself in my last year of highschool sitting in the computer lab working on my project (ultimate-death pong if you were wondering, i even got an A).
I kind of wish he had said what the third function of music was? Anyone have any idea? Perhaps it is something simple like pleasure.
