At our dentist offices. supermarkets. shopping malls. cookouts. wedding receptions. intimate moments. while driving or washing our automobiles ect. He explains the therapeutic value of music during a stressful/non stressful day. even its effects in reviving commatose induced patients just by triggering music through its sound capabilities.Lamar Boschman simplifies. articulates. and differentiates its orgin. background. and history. as well as helping its readers to recognizing and understand what kind of subliminal messages "MAY" be inside its lyrics whether instrumental music. classical music. Jazz. RB. Rock. Rap. Turkish. Russian. Swahili. Jingle Bells or a Michael Jackson tune.(1.) Is it vulgar. cussing.(2.) Is it sexual. adulteress. homophobic. pervertic or pornatous?(3.) Does it promote violence. killing. or Anarchy?(4.) Is it Antichrist.He explains one could look back at a pleasant moment in life. such as a love one. while lowering theyre heart rates. as well as our blood pressure... He cautions us to be careful not to look to far back that we could jeopardize falling back into our old lustful temptations if we arent CAREFUL ...So is it alright to have our radios preseted to certain secular personal preferences in our lives?You read. and decide !!5 Stars *****0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
