Gorillaz, french toast and some more writing

Some more of what I have been putting together...


The detailed purpose of this club/organization is to share people’s gift of music and words in a structured environment that will promote a variety of music and poetry. The idea exposing a group of individuals to a mixture of new and unique music from all over the country and the world, can be a start to understanding and learning about other cultures and social groups. This is an idea that can materialize, because I myself have found this true thru experience. Once an avid listener of American rock and hip-hop, I stumbled upon a few Japanese songs that caught my interest. Ever since my encounter with these songs, I have immersed myself in the culture of Japan and also expanded my knowledge of other cultures and music. There is too much segregation within the world itself, but music should not be segregated. If you are white I think it is nothing wrong with listening to hip-hop and if you are black it is nothing wrong with listening to rock music. The words the emotions, even the topics are similar. Each person in the world has a story and people should hear those stories and appreciate them. So within this club that I am proposing their will be an environment that will encourage a "melting pot" of music, that will explore music from different states, time periods, countries and continents. This discovery of new genres and musical cultures will prompt students to find out about the cultures and people they have listened too. Many countries listen to American music, but do not know the history behind it, so why not use this club to connect to other countries and teach them the history and vice-a-versa.
The idea that music can change lives is an understatement. Musicians such as Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Selena, and Johnny Cash have changed the face of the planet, bringing people together through either their music, their words...or both. In order to continue to have influential and positive musicians, the club will have numerous fundraisers that will support local TCC musicians and lyricist. The club will host mini-concerts to display the talents of up and coming musicians and lyricist, through talent shows, competitions and collaborations of music and poetry. All the proceeds will go directly to expanding the club and eventually creating a TCC radio station that will furthermore spread the variety of music to the public.
