Some time ago I wrote about the destruction of musical instruments in clips by The Who and Jimmy Hendrix. For this weeks assignment we were asked to take the opposite side in this debate. Since last week I said that the destruction was great and an extra dimension to the art, this week I should take the conservative side of life's values, and the protection of our poor little children.
First of all, the demolition of the musical instruments is bad because it is the destruction of a piece of art, a persons life. Somebody has put effort into making this instrument, and then some fool goes on destroying it. Besides that it is a waste of money, because they have to be bought again. Last but not least, if they really wanted to get rid of their instruments, they might as well have given them to me. I would not have minded having a guitar of Jimmy Hendrix or The Who.
Secondly, it is a bad example to young people and future musicians. It shows how not to take care of your belongings. That is a sad thing, because these people who are an example to many should be the ones showing our youngsters how to do things right. For future musicians it shows how not to play the guitar or the drums, whilst these people also copy these artists behaviour.
That was the other side of the story...
See you guys soon. I still own you a concert review!
P.S. (Shhhhht, don't tell anyone, but secretly I still think the destruction is awesome!)
