The Singing Revolution

The coverage of the upcoming presidential election often reminds me of the mega-challenges we face, not only in the United States, but worldwide. My recent post, which covered the “10 most likely ways that life on earth will end,” had a similar effect. As if the universe (asteroids, solar flares, black holes) isn’t hostile enough, it seems that the human race is steadily kicking out all the legs that support life on this planet.
So I sometimes feel a little silly about dedicating my life to music. As an artist and web-trepreneur, I spend a lot of time thinking about music. Specifically, how can we:
- nurture the seemingly limitless talent around us (sometimes even my own)
- help that talent connect with the people who want, or need to hear it
- awaken those who don’t realize how badly they need music in their lives.

But how badly do we need music?
Deep down, I think we all know that music is important. Here, the Estonians show us how important it can be.
You might say, they’re just singing folk songs. So maybe it’s time to gather a few friends, and invite a few folk singers over to the house - just in case it comes down to music for us too.
