About Me

MARK RIDINGER & 'the meme'.
Home page @ The meme (US)
'Mark Ridinger and the meme' creates music meant to take the best of previous periods influenced by many styles, but when melody mattered and lyrics were prose and poetry, but packaged in a 21st century sound that is both hip but pays homage to its roots.
“meme" rhymes with “dream”.the best definition of what a meme is, is an analogy:
genes are to people, what memes are to culture.

Every song reflects a passage. some of you may have taken a similar one. some yet to. listen, enjoy, reflect or whatever you choose, but either way, let the music make a difference--that's the meme we are committed to keeping alive.
