Last night on Jessica Soho Reports, one of the segments was about the “perceived” effect of Rock Music to the younger generation who adheres to such kind of harmony. Is rock music detrimental to the well-being of these adolescents? As expected from Ms. Soho’s journalistic prowess, she was able to cover all sides fairly, from the rock concert scene, the group of teenagers at the rock concert, the critics, to the rock band members. She even got the viewpoint of parents whose children are rock music fanatic. And overall, the message was relatively good. Rock music is not evil at all.
However, there was one Baptist Church priest who made a very grave statement that “rock music breeds demonic activities” Whoa! I think that is a very narrow-minded and sweeping generalization coming from a member of the religious community. I personally love ROCK music… and I (from time to time) go to rock concerts. But I don’t think I engaged (nor did I even thought about engaging) in what he termed demonic frivolities. On the other hand, it was rock music that inspired me to study and pass my board exam, to appreciate my country and my heritage better, and gain more friends who are intelligent, responsible and may I say, ASTIG individuals.
There was one band member who was interviewed in the show and he said something like “Kung sa tingin nila maingay ang kanta, tingnan nila ang lyrics, baka galit”. Oo nga naman. I really hate people who judge others based only on what they can hear, see or feel from the surface. Dig deeper. Substance over form!
That is why I love rockstars. They are true musicians. They create, sing and live their music. Not like some pop idols who are merely Interpreters of other people's music.
Rock on everyone!
