A Perspective on the Roots of Rocking Out.....

Rocking out,

There are three tenets to which all should abide, and if these are followed and properly understood then the essence of rocking out can be fully realized. They are as follows:

The Commandments

1) Rocking out is mos definitely getting er done!

2) If I cannot rock, I cannot live

3) Since I am alive, I must be in a constant state of rocking

4) Therefore rocking out had to come before getting er done.

As a young man growing up I came to learn of these pretenses and embraced them. I tried to spread this knowledge as I met new individuals and many have come to feel the same connection I did as a beginner to the world of rock. Only after years of intense rocking could getting er' done be exercised in a manner considered to be of the quality to which rocking existed.

Jargon aside, it must be thought through using the commandments as a reference. First came rock then came getting er done. Like Dark and Light they combine to make our days balanced and liberated. If we could not see the sun then we wouldn't be able to rock in a hard enough manner, but without night getting er done would be put into question. Like the yin and the yang, balance has always been necessary to keep the wheel of life rotating consistently and purely.

Remembering the thoughts of Lao-Tzu, inventor of the Daoist religion originating in China during the fifth and sixth centuries B.C.E., he always emphasized how the dao could only exist as long as it did not become unbalanced. Every perspective must be utilized in order to gain the greatest and most transparent view of life's situations.

And so I say to you in order to live you must rock, and in order to live well you must get er done. Without one the other is not as valuable. But it must be understood where things originated and how they evolved in order to appreciate them in the present.

NOW ROCK!!
