Traditions

The sub-title of the blog has been changed into "Sweet Music And Much More" to show you that this blog will contain from now on mainly info about music. Not only about the music I like but also the music I don't like but is loved by million others. I will also so now and then write what is on my mind and I really hope you like to read. Don't hesitate to comment, positively or with positive critics. (meaning you don't agree with me but don't use insults:)

Today I was walking in the centre of Chisinau, the capitol of the Republic of Moldova, a small country between the Ukraine and Romania, a former USSR republic. And I recognised an American because he did not look like any of the locals here but for me and many others it was even clear he was most likely from Texas because of his hat.

It reminded me a bit on the article I wrote in Dutch language that I am not so much into traditions and because the future is for me many, many times more important. I don't like for instance people dressed in National Costume saying "because we do that already for centuries".

For me it shows that those people also did not change much the last centuries. Am I right that people who are very much into traditions also are at the same time the conservative part of the world population, and vice-versa? I think it is and I plea therefore that most of the traditions in the world will be banned. We start with all traditions dating back from more then 200 years ago and we will work on like that till nothing reminds us anymore what happened more then 50 years ago. It doesn't mean that we don't learn history. It doesn't mean that on certain moments (the National Holiday) peope are allowed to walk in the street with clothes resembling what their forefathers were wearing. And playing some idiot games from 1600 or so. But it is not allowed in daily life in 2009. I am of the opinion that keeping tradition alive is not improving peoples thinking about the future and what to do with our planet. Tradition keeps people backward and doesn't help our life nowadays and certainly not the young people who want to spread their wings but are stopped doing so by traditional cultures. So everything older then 50, (besides the lives of human beings and animals and certain types and styles of music) will be banned. Older music shoul not be banned because that is something that can connect people from different places. So no worry, Elvis will stay. And Chopin. But people in National Costumes (wearing it daily) shoul be banned and even, after warnings, be punished for not looking into the future. Another thing I would like to start is a discussion to change all churches, mosques, synagogues and all other houses used for religion to change into disco's. Do you think a group on Facebook with the name "I bet I can find 5 million people who agree to change all religious venues into Disco's" would have a chance? The next blog will be about music again!
