Robert Newman - The Music industry and the Enlightenment
June 10, 2010
In our second hour with Robert Newman we talk about the history of music, the bards, the preservation of knowledge in song and music - and how this was cut off by the Church. We discuss the starting of musical biographies, exaggerations, myth creation around these "Musical Transcendental Beings", what Robert calls the "Myth of the Immaculate Artist". We talk about individualism, nationality, the Congress of Vienna, emotions, rationality, the Revolutionary Movement and how the new so called "scientific enlightenment" actually was based on an older and more occult philosophy.
