Re: Channeling the Rage (was somethin' else)

I'm not talking about how to get to the zone.  I'm talking about what
it is and what to do once you get there. Everybody has the skills to
get there if you understand happiness, sadness and anger. They are
all channels of rage.  I think if one were to only play from
happiness, sadness, despair, hatred or anger etc the music would be
pretty doggone boring.  The point is to understand our emotion as
separate channels or see them as different doors of a collective (the
zone).  During a solo or even life it is necessary to turn them on
and let the engery flow. The people who are unable to react, adapt,
change or see common denominators are doomed to the falsely
pulchritude shelter they've created as life (music) floods around
them.
