music

Are you surprised at the quality of popular music? Things that appear to have no appeal can gain wide acceptance quickly. This is not merely a matter of taste. People will listen to music that speaks to them no matter how good or bad it is by measures of musical integrity. Therefore popular music is an indicator of the state of culture and society, for better or for worse. What sort of music speaks to you? For that is an indicator of the state of your soul. As I have taught you to think on those things that are pure and lovely and true, so you should make the same choices in what you listen to for they will influence you.
