POP MUSIC AND PROTEST: EXPLORING THE MESSIANIC ELEMENTS OF MUSIC

Just a quick heads up about an event that's happening tomorrow at Canadian Mennonite Univeristy. As part of Mennonite Central Committee's annual relief sale, there is going to be a concert which is going to set out to explore the relationship between pop music and protest. The evening will feature my personal favorite Winnipeg artist, Chris Neufeld, plus long time Winnipeg musician Mike Koop, plus more and will be hosted by yours truley.

It looks like the concert will take the shape of a workshop (ala Winnipeg Folk Fest), and should be a blast. I'm going to give a short blurb about the messianic elements of music, focusing on David Byrne's attack on punk, purely through his squareness. Anywho, if your free from 7-9, this is definately worth checking out.
