OPEN GRASS STARTED AS A REACTION AGAINST FILTERS (?) YES, FILTERS BETWEEN US AND MUSIC AND ART, THOSE FILTERS BEING COMMERCIAL RADIO AND TV, CONVENTIONAL GALLERIES, BIG RECORD LABELS AND BAR OWNERS THAT WOULD DECIDE WHO PLAY IN THEIR PLACES ACCORDING TO WHO WOULD SELL MORE BEER DISREGARDING THE QUALITY OF THE MUSIC.
I HAVE HEARD THAT EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO AN OPINION; I SAY AS LONG AS YOU MAKE YOUR OWN OPINION AND DONT TAKE IT FROM MASS MEDIA WHO IS TRYING TO MANIPULATE YOUR TASTE TO SELL YOU A PRE-FAB PRODUCT, WITH NO SOUL. REMOVE THE FILTERS, DONT LET ANYTHING BETWEEN YOU AND EXPRESSION. GO SEE LIVE MUSIC, IT DOES NOT GET ANY MORE DIRECT THAN THAT. YOU IN FRONT OF THE MUSICIANS PLAYING THEIR MUSIC FOR YOU. LOOK FOR SMALL STUDIOS OF ARTISTS AND SEE THEIR WORK BEFORE BECOMES COMMERCIALIZED.
WE ALSO STARTED AS A WAY TO BRING "THE FAMILY" TOGETHER ONCE IN A WHILE TO ENJOY ALL THOSE "OLD HIPPIE VALUES" LIKE PEACE & LOVE AND ADD MUSIC & ART TO THE EQUATION.
SO I HOPE WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER IN THE NEXT SHOW, CONCERT FESTIVAL OR EXHIBITION, AND WHEN WE GREET EACH OTHER, DO IT WITH A SMILE, A HUG AND A COUPLE OF KIND WORDS (LIKE "OPEN GRASS").
COME OUT, SMILE, RELAX, FEEL THE LOVE AND THE PEACE FLOATING IN THE AIR, FILL YOUR SENSES WITH THE COLORS AND SOUNDS AROUND YOU, LET THEM SURROUND YOU, ENJOY AND SHARE THE FEELING WITH EVERYONE AROUND YOU, BECOME A CONCIOUS PIECE OF THE UNIVERSE, SHARE YOUR SOUL WITH THE WORLD.
