Pictures of my iTunes library…
Driving home from work today I began contemplating the impact of one’s culture on religious belief and practice as I listened to music on my iPhone. I was distracted as I was listening to “God is trying to tell you something” from the “Color Purple” soundtrack followed by “Scenario” by A Tribe Called Quest and I thought it almost comical how wrong people can be about others when we judge people on surface descriptions such as race, politics, or religion. I wondered how much insight could people gain about me just by checking my iTunes library. What would they think after they discovered some of the things in there? So I decided to do a little experiment and I encourage readers of my blog and followers/friends on Facebook and Twitter to do the same thing. Basically, go to your mobile music device of choice (mine is the iPhone) hit the random button 20 times and list the songs that come up and see let others see your list. By sharing this list, maybe we can learn more about each other than the trivial and heated debates we normally have do. I have 230 songs loaded in my iPhone currently. Here’s my song list, make sure you share yours:
1. “Award Tour” A Tribe Called Quest
2. “Upside Down” Diana Ross
3. “Apologize” Timbaland Ft. One Republic
4. “Footsteps in the Dark” The Isley Brothers
5. “Rock With You” Michael Jackson
6. “Stop To Love” Luther Vandross
7. “Do Me Baby” Prince
8. “Love Is All We Need” Mary J. Blige
9. “Venus vs Mars” Jay-Z
10. “Satisfaction” The Rolling Stones
11. “Here and Now” Luther Vandross
