I am hear from the Rick Beato interview. Great talk! Very enlightening.
Same here. That was a brilliant interview.
@@quaid667 This lecture should have wayyy more comments.

Wow...I hope we get to meet some day...I've been talking about these things from a neurological stand point and most folks give me the "deer in the headlights" look...You are a Fantastic Thinker Sir! Thank you for posting this
"You can't reduce humans to their brains." Great point - thanks for making it.
Ted is such a captivating speaker. Never thought that I would be so interested in music history.
Wonderful talk, thank you for this great contribution. Would love to hear you speak on healing songs and more on the life enhancing role of music.
Amazing 👏inspiring
Congratulations very interesting 👏👏
This is entertaining. And edifying.
i like the QnA section
Indeed these are deep observations: pity the Q&A session is all messed up as we cannot hear any of the questions. Maybe you should consider to edit the section out completely.
On a footnote I was thinking about the Indian music, the one you hear both on a 'classical' stage or the one played and sung on improvised ancient instruments by Sadhus and troubadours. Apart from the Bahul tradition that sings openly about let's call it the human condition, their love songs are directed to the Supreme Being, the God / Goddess: isn't this a way to elevate the romance to a higher level.?
Their lyrics are often coming from the Saints that originally actually sung them! And indeed these songs were so popular and often times were used in their films.
What I'm trying to say is that even if in the Western tradition we had a separation of the Holy music from the popular love songs, in India there was no apparent separation: after all they had God incarnated as a cowboy, playing flute, and dancing with 16000 cowgirls, well worth of many love songs...
My favorite cheesy love song (or one of them) is More Than Words. Sung by a bunch of badass looking dudes
Within Hebrew tradition it was the King who sang and celebrated the love song. It is his ancient love song we find in the Song of Solomon.
Mike Love "distant travelers" is an amazing love song or his song Advayas Song
Man you got some serious haters on amazon for this book still bought it though
Haha did you like it?
Nice lecture or talk or what's it's called in English. Just want to say that it's not music in my ear that the ambient sound and the direct voice isn't synced. In the ending while answering questions.
Ted starts at 5:43
Just do a simple UA-cam search for The True Lyrics to Louie Louie. Something I did in 2007 for about an hour or so will be tied to me for the rest of my life.
I think you got it backwards. You seem to be saying that the evolution of music drives the evolution of cultures. I think it's the evolution of cultures that drives the evolution of music. I suppose you could say music is a particularly appropriate tool used to assist or enhance or motivate cultural evolutions.
28:50 "Gorilla Love Songs" would be an epic name for an album.
wow i have two guitars, than even more women! just hope they are not ambey heards
Get rid of the second questioner.
This guy talks too much like a preacher. Ugh.
