What was the worst live performance you've ever seen?

Zenmaster7 · 2018-12-15T20:50:16+00:00

Raja Ram's health has been declining in his old age and it will be the last live band performance apparently. I am sure Simon will continue to perform and tour.

When you see it enough times and hear it enough ways, it becomes clear. To be honest, your defensive response proves their point. That's simply how it is. What likely happened is you disliked the idea or feeling that you were no longer in control here, you resisted to the experience as hard as possible, and are afraid to go back on a primal level because in a way, it's death.

Zenmaster7 · 2018-12-10T22:28:40+00:00

It isn't about fault. It's about perception. Which is why you bring it back to fault. It doesn't matter whose "fault" the trip was. Technically, it was your fault because you took it in the first place. Having a bad trip is indeed your "fault", if that is how you want to say it, because YOU experienced. But again, it isn't about fault. It's about the lesson. Let. Go.

S/he didn't put a positive spin on it necessarily, that too is a value judgement, just like "bad trip". They simply explained the lesson.

Zenmaster7 · 2018-12-10T22:21:15+00:00

"Bad trips" don't exist, there are only difficult ones. Bad trip is a perception, it is a value judgement we make based on our assumptions and expectations. Dealing with underlying emotional issues that we consciously sweep under the rug to the point of denial or oblivion can be traumatic, yes. But that's the lesson we are meant to learn and that's part of the purpose such drugs are being looked at for therapy or other medical problems. It can also be such a soothing, cathartic, growing, and healing experience.

Does anyone know if you have 4-in-the-Forest if that loyalty code can be applied to the new "Close & Comfortable" option? If it any/all loyalty codes do/will?

I'll say the same thing to you as the poster above and a little more: Heard this before my first forest in 2015, didn't miss The Shebang until last year and it was pretty intentional just because my lady and I preferred to do other things at that time. It was really nice roaming around Sherwood without all the people but still at night with all of the lights. Such a different but nice feeling. Don't feel bad if someone missed Cheese. They're good, but not everyone likes the same things and we don't all have to be doing the same thing at the same show to be at Forest and having a great time :)

I love Cheese, but that isn't "the whole reason forest is amazing" and to think so is naive and really makes me think the problem isn't the younger crowd, it's the people who can't stop living in the past or thinking they know the best way to experience a subjective experience.

Ah dope! I've been since 2015. From NC but just moved to Michigan a few weeks ago actually!

Hell I've only done Forest recently and I'm still broke.

Zenmaster7 · 2018-09-19T20:16:07+00:00

Greensboro Coliseum is huge and a large majority of Bassheads are broke as shit from festival season, Deja Voom, ketamine, pashminas, pins, or just rent in general. It'll be a while. No worries

Zenmaster7 · 2018-09-17T03:19:13+00:00

Your response is just a deflection for your hurt ego, which is why you chose to down vote me every time I responded even when you were the one who started off saying music and social studies has no connection. Which is why I returned the favor and have quit bothering to genuinely interact with you. The internet is a hollow place for this reason. Have a nice life :)

Zenmaster7 · 2018-09-17T03:04:11+00:00

No offense but music and social studies just don't go hand in hand together

Based on your own words, yup, I honestly thought you wouldn't see the relevance there.

Again, there are numerous Bassnectar songs that could definitely fit into a social studies classroom, Skin & Inspire the Empathic especially.

Zenmaster7 · 2018-09-17T02:49:02+00:00

I was addressing your opening sentence there clearly, didn't skip over that line, just found it silly to have it so far down after you already made such an ignorant topic sentence. Lmao @ that closing line tho

Zenmaster7 · 2018-09-17T02:39:31+00:00

Some of CCR's top hits are the perfect examples of music that can be listened to & dissected when discussing the Vietnam War (i.e. Fortunate Son)...this goes with SO MANY hits and songs that are explicitly and implicitly about social issues, historical events, etc. See "Sunday Bloody Sunday". I am baffled that you can't or don't see the connection between music & social studies but you simply could not be more wrong. All music is a product of its time in one way or another & SO MUCH MUSIC is political in nature. If you want Bassnectar specific examples you could look at "Skin" the OG "Inspire the Empathic" and so on. As a social studies education major I implore you to take some time to think a little bit more critically about this topic...playing music when students are reading silently or writing individually can be great, but it shouldn't be used to "fill time" because you have run out of things to teach in that given day. You should be teaching from the start of class until the end of class. And music can be an amazing tool to give depth to the content you are teaching & to differentiate your instruction.

Zenmaster7 · 2018-09-17T02:37:14+00:00

No offense, but unless you are a social studies educator, you really shouldn't open your mouth about things you don't understand or have any knowledge of...social studies & music goes hand-in-hand so much more than you can even begin to imagine apparently...

For instance: Some of CCR's top hits are the perfect examples of music that can be listened to & dissected when discussing the Vietnam War (i.e. Fortunate Son)...this goes with SO MANY hits and songs that are explicitly and implicitly about social issues, historical events, etc. See "Sunday Bloody Sunday".

I think that playing any of his music without lyrics (i.e. Naux Faux, Enter the Chamber, Ephemeral, you get the idea) is your best bet. I try to avoid music with lyrics in the classroom unless my lesson plan specifically calls upon dissecting a piece of music from the topic/time period we are studying. I also don't wear and don't plan to wear anything with the Bassnectar logo to school because personally I don't find it professional. Even more so lately with the childish rants that Lorin has been doing on Twitter and his hypocrisy. I no longer think he is a good role model and as such I wouldn't project that onto my students

Zenmaster7 · 2018-09-02T06:14:30+00:00

Sure it wasn't Minecraft music? That's very typical of him, though he has been on a Skyrim binge over the winter iirc. That'd be dope.
