Re: # 1
Dawn,images,sunday 1 25 2009
a full page of double integrated treat!books and inspired musicians!starting from david Bowie -the most controversial,"fetcher" of the unusual,and strangest aura of a personal kind as well as of his movies and music.
me? left with one thought, what in those days would have been on my hostel wall? a double shelf one on top of another,or an horizontal twin shelf bearing all these mentioned albums and books!with a dictionary thrown in to refresh one' s awareness of the budding 'consumerism', 'totalitarianism' and the scare which the futurists put into political business.

Re: # 1idea! inspired from Floydosis!!how about simply “deconstructing the stereotypical� social and community entities of folk in pakistan.i am sure they have come a long way,and there are plenty of changes.the new millenium is a good junction to take stoc k of such change.the people who want a healthy lifestyle may be a few but they are a dynamic force and they belong to all communities, they also want to keep a level head in all circumstances

you have written about Pink Floyds music.inspiring.animals.i want to comment about your fairly recent article about pink floyds music and what it does to a target audience and why!?

nfp in your article i like the following gems-
-�the question asked today is;why would so many people buy albums about madness,depression and suicide?�
-�and in the end,just ......to......the concept of madness in post-industrial societies�.
-�even though the purpose of the paper was to deconstruct........to..........a majority of young schizophrenia patients that he came across were all said to be heavy listeners of the music of Pink Floyd�..
What ‘s with music?nay it is why ‘s with music?do tell true, if you are reading this and are normal.how much time would you like to/can you, give to a mentally disturbed person.if asked otta mentally disturbed person be given a sympathetic ear, for his outpouring.you would be the first one to say yes,but can you, do you, have enough time?no you are pressed for time, you have work to do, and the list goes on and on.if the mentally disturbed person is your family or acquaintance, sure you can give time, but then after repeated such patient hearings, you will feel he will never heed what you say to encourage, to improve, to make him come out of his shell.but that is the beauty of it.he just needs someone to listen to him, and he feels wanted, and thats enough to go on with life, as functional as he is, not a social burden yet.if he cannot have you as his “friend�, he has pink floyd.he can listen to his music again and again.you cannot give him so much time, as pink floyd can.as yet i am talking of the positive psychotherapeutic effect)pause and think.he is just one of the many mentally disturbed.so many people will not have access to normal people like you for help.but these so many may have pink floyd.but if people like me and you drive the early schizophrenic to desperation, then the song of pf can drive him to his suicidal end, which only he thinks is justified.
(let us go to the pink floyd times).the above shows a thin line between disturbed and mentally disturbed young men and women.it is easy to go from just disturbed to mentally disturbed.but no mentally disturbed person would like to go back to being just disturbed.it is less hurtful to stay in the niche created for the mental component of mentally disturbed�.communication is too difficult for a mentally disturbed person with the rest of the world.one in the west.such a person is usually very lonely,in his house, be he a single occupant or with his family.sparks of life burst in the the excitement of a dysfunctional family.but the excitement is unpleasant.do you think if people talked to each other like the words of a pink floyd song) even for 10 minutes, with tones of understanding, empathy and caring, people would feel less disturbed, more wanted and excused?but people do not have the time, the patience, and woe if they see you on the other side of normal-they at once assume the superior tone, start ordering you around, criticizing you even sometimes bullying you.why do you think people bury their noses in gardening, reading or some other activity suited for a recluse?good normal people(the practical down to earth, proper and hard working type) just dont understand the disturbed young men and women.
Now Picture Floyd Times; Like a child who holds a soft cuddly toy to go to sleep-these mentally disturbed youth cling to the music of pink floyd. they seem to think exactly what the words of the song say, they understand the meaning, their feelings are in the song, the music supports them, soothes them, they have been UNDERSTOOD.they could not be wrong.what they think, is being listened to by billions of others. the most important and successful group in the world is conveying their thoughts and feelings, to the whole world.and pink floyd understands them,therefore the whole world understands them.even if they cannot communicate what they go through to anyone, someone has already done it on their behalf, and it seems right.suddenly they are not alone.so they can sleep a sound sleep, their dreams dancing to the tune of the pink music, carrying them lightly, lifting their spirits, away from the jars, jibes and jabs of the unbending world.indulging their intimacy with the music to take them hi or lo at whim, so that they love to fall asleep.without floyd they would be insomniacs.tomorro, when they wake up, and see at their office or their dysfunctional family, the negative-to-them archetype, they wont point a finger at him.floyd has already done that, they will just smile faintly, look at them, with the song in their head saying “pf knows all about the people who are hurting you.� if books can be companion to folk, so can music.
