"Within each piece of music is a rhythm that excites.
A drumbeat & pattern that moves you, up & down, side to side.
A beat is missed my heart skips.
Jazz drumming. Rock drumming. Trance drumming.
Percussion that drops in & out, misses a beat, nails it next time around.
There for three beats out of four or even six from 12.
A bassline that moves boundary’s, moves your feet, shakes your head.
Double basses. Acoustic.
Guitars that leave the ears mesmerised. Shining or Dull. Low or High.
Spanish Guitars with fast fingers.
Reverberated guitars with stature & longing.
Down-tuned guitars. Acoustic. Nylon. 12-strings.
Keyboards.
Strings. Violins. Flutes, Oboes & Cellos.
Multiples of each layering like pages in a book.
Vocals mesmerise my ears, make my lips tingle with a single thought of mimicry.
Double or triple or choirs of voices high & low.
Spoken & sung.
Electric for everything or acoustic for some.
Programmed or played.
An endless list of noises, squeaks, drones & pitches many that spark the imagination in everyone.
Even the autotuned.
Music isn’t a club, it’s something everyone can enjoy & judge at their leisure.
No right or wrong.
Only what is mine & what is yours."

Read Me, You’re Bored: Why Music?

Martin says the Pentagon is looking at three basic options:
“First, jam Libya’s communications so that Qaddafi has a hard time communicating with his forces,” he told “Early Show” anchor Chris Wragge. “Second, send those Marines ashore to set up aid stations for the rebel areas. And third, establish a no-fly shown so that Qaddafi cannot use his air force against his own people.”
One thing that is not an option for the Pentagon: The U.S. taking on the situation by itself.
“The U.S. does not want to go to it alone here,” said Martin. “The famous ‘Pottery Barn rules’ apply here: You break it, you own it. And if there is chaos in Libya, the U.S. does not want to be the one country responsible for restoring order.”
Sanctions against Qaddafi’s government have been enacted to squeeze them financially and to cut off the flow of arms to the regime. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said on “The Early Show” this morning that Qaddafi must be shown that “the international community is not going to tolerate the slaughter of innocents.
“So we are continuing contingency planning with NATO allies and others for all sorts of options that may be necessary.”
“There could be a real humanitarian disaster in Libya as this situation unfolds,” Rice told “Early Show” anchor Erica Hill. “And if that is to occur, we and others in the international community would want to be prepared to respond if necessary, promptly and effectively.”
