    Stryken - Crush The Head Of Satan

    so, I’m thinking I might write a paper on this piece of music/what the band did at their concert when they opened for motley crue in 1986.

    Digital Textbook Counter-Revolution

    adventuresinlearning:

    “Once you’ve recognized that textbooks are just an assemblage of resources and that, in a digital world, there’s no reason to bind it together and publish these en masse, then I think you can see a path to liberation from that industry model. You can disassemble, reassemble, unbundle, disrupt, destroy the textbook. It is truly an irrelevant format.”

    Apple and the Digital Textbook Counter-Revolution

    I definitely agree with this.  But I think I will blog about my fears of a society satiated in electronic media sometime - not that that hasn’t already happened, but things can certainly get worse.

    Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens and the other elements of the world, the motion and orbit[s]… and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such and embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn.
    — St. Augustine, 408 AD

    Know what’s weird? Day by day nothing seems to change, but pretty soon, everything is different. You just go about your business and one day you realize you’re not the same person you used to be. People change whether they decide to or not!

    Celebrity culture is not a convergence of consumer culture and religion, but rather a hostile takeover of religion by consumer culture. Commodities and celebrity culture define what it means to belong, how we recognize our place in society, and how we conduct our lives.

    Daniel Boorstin writes that in contemporary culture the fabricated, the inauthentic, and the theatrical have displaced the natural, the genuine, and the spontaneous, until reality itself has been converted into stagecraft. Americans, he writes, increasingly live in a “world where fantasy is more real than reality.

    So it’s goodbye to the sunshine,
    goodbye to the dew,
    goodbye to flowers,
    and goodbye to you.

    I’m off the the subway,
    I must not be late,
    I’m going to work in tall buildings.

    Wow. 

    *Sidenote- Julie’s lifelong dream was to tour in a family band that did mostly this stuff. Basically a bluegrass/gospel family band. Duh.
