Blue Fringe

Half (Dov and Avi) of the Jewish music group Blue Fringe is staying at my house. Don't know if anyone has heard of them, or thinks it's "super cool" that a boy band is sleeping in the room next door.

The truth is, I'm not such a fan. Not just of Blue Fringe, or Jewish music. It's pretty much all music in general. Don't get me wrong, I sing to myself in the shower, lip sync driving in the car, and can pretty much always be found humming some tune. I just don't like listening to music. People don't believe me that I'll drive in a car for an hour on the way to work with the radio off. I'm just not interested in hearing somebody else sing. I like to sing. I like to be active. I like to think.

A tune expresses some of the deepest emotions of the soul. And my own soul has plenty to say.

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught:

"Music takes you from where you are, to where you want to be."

DG - Didn't make the concert. A) I'm not so into music, so I definitely wouldn't pay to hear it. B) I don't think I'd go to whatever bar or club they were playing at. I don't think a religiously aspiring Jew can grow from hanging out in such an atmosphere. C) Even if the concert was in a Synagogue, I probably wouldn't go. I find "concerts" to be horribly un-spiritual places. They are very physical, mob-like scenes, but the actual vibe of the music is lost in the adrenaline of the noise and lights. And if there are girls there, I probably wouldn't even notice that there was a concert going on.

But that's just me.
