Whats going on...

I actually really enjoyed Marvin Gaye’s album. Sometimes, I just think that the more famous you are, the more credible and respectable you seem to be. Having a brother go to Vietnam, I think Gaye had a better understanding of what was going on over there. I think that it’s nice when you have people in their position show interest and that they care about important issues of what’s going on around us. It makes the issue seem more important for some reason. Maybe because they have more publicity or are more recognized than others. They have easier access to express their feelings through interviews, and in this case music. The way the album was put together was also kind of read as a story, a cry of what was going on through music. As a musician, I think that the actual melodies and notes being played add extra emotions to the song and the way that it is sang. He was very clear about wanting people to come together and make a change. Together we can accomplish much more.
