The Non-Local Nature of Music

The more analytical you become about music the farther you move from art. You move from right brain to left brain. When I write I seldom think about the key, scales, or the proper chords. I just simply write what’s in my mind.” Doug Marks noted as the man who taught more people to play the guitar than anyone else with his Metal Method Instructional tapes. Music is a big part of most people’s daily lives. This being the case it might be important where music comes from and how musicians get their songs. In studying the music writing process I have come to see that it is much more a paranormal, non-local, and a right brained activity, than anything even close to being rational or carefully planned.. Many of the greatest songs of all times came in dreams. This is unusual as dreams are usually symbolic and nonsensical.

Some ufologists not quite as pessimistic as Jacobs hold that there may not be an impending takeover but that there are aliens who are only here for their own self-interest. In 1975 I saw this object known as Charlie Red Star. Was Charlie a good guy or bad guy? Should I try and kill him if he ever wants to meet? Bud Hopkins, another major ab
