Music as transportation and time machine..

You are so right. I can be transported to any place with music.

I don't even need music for this kind of travel. But music can help do it, I agree.

Amen to that. Each song can take you somewhere. And yes Paul Simon's new album is very impressive, I definetly hear that connection to Graceland mentioned in some reviews. He really is a talented artist with a long and creative career. I'll bet each of his songs take him to some interesting places.

"Music" is my time machine and "The Age of Aquarius" was my favorite time. This extends roughly from the late 60's through the mid 70's; everybody "hung loose".

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

That time passed in such a blur, that music and vague memories are all I have; but they were the most colorful memories of my life. Santana, Janis Joplin and many rock bands were hot at that time; and "The flavor of the month" was not in reference to ice cream.

That time is in such contrast to this time, that I frequently turn my music machine on and go through the looking glass back to that time.
