I've read several messages about how musical performances have changed lives. I can't really relate, unless, perhaps, for songs where the message is verbalized. Books are different. I know at least two, right, off the bat for me. Plato's Dialogues and Howard's "Mystic Path to Cosmic Power". Include, also, the works George Seldes. These books shifted my thinking. Showed me something about myself and the world that I'd not been aware of. |

Howard Zinn was an important influence on me. Thank you for the other reference. |
