This is for the simple reason that in human terms, music is the greatest transcendent experience. Music blends all colors into infinite yet tangible tones, and music connetcts us immediately to our sphere without the confines of the intellect. The universe itself is composed of an infinte series of never-ending vibrations, and so we vibrate as musical creatures, regardless of individual favorite key or gamut. I personally believe that race does not exist; that a skin hue exists only as an impression in the mind, and not as some sort of objective truth. Our absolute nature--our appearance--is known only to God. I can't say that The Beatles would agree or disagree with me on the subject, but surely their gorgeous music speaks for itself without delivering any heavy-duty metaphorical homily. Clearly, in 1965, they were more concerned with righting an egregious social wrong, than with meandering through metaphysical waters. All I know, is that their music moves me in a primal way--the relative and transient color of my skin notwithstanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
