They say “you are what you eat’, well I believe that’s true as far as the body is concerned, but what I say is ,” you are what you hear”. Over the next few days, weeks, months, HECK, who knows how long I’ll milk this thing, I’m going to share with you some information that I believe will be life-transforming.
The Baby Boomer generation was shaped by the lyrics in their music – guided by what they heard. It was these lyrics that helped this generation do the exemplary job that they did in all the major arenas of life. Some of these would be:
1) Their strong commitment to stable and long-lasting marriages
2) A discipline of abstinence from all forms of vice(s)
3) Wisdom in all the areas of rearing children.
4) Respect, love and support for their leaders
5) Well grounded in Biblical principles
19)….many, etc’s inserted here to make it seem like I had more but don’t.
Well, you get the picture, these folk did a “great” job at getting our world where it is today and did so powered by the examples they found in the music of their time. So each post for a while I will be sharing with you nuggets of knowledge in hopes you will glean the wisdom that each might bring to light and make applicable life-change where necessary. I speak from experience ‘cause I know one of these guys !
First on my list will be a few lines that set the rich Spiritual tone for the Boomers. These lines helped guide them down the path of life. This message is found in Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway To Heaven”. Let the deep truths that follow sink down into your mind and soul for the Spiritual cleansing they can bring:
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
Don’t be alarmed now.
It’s just the sprinkling for
The Maidqueen
(…sniff ….Need I say more ? If that won’t redirect your entire being, If that won’t get you on the proper path than I don’t know what will…..snifff…..more later.)
