Advice from the open minded people here!

[metalized]

Well I want your advice on how to become open minded? Do i have to move to Australlia? Seems all open minded ppl r down there!

I think that pretty much covers it. Being open minded, musically, isn't necessarily liking every genre of music or every facet of whatever. For me, it's liking what *I* like and not what I think my friends would like. Another aspect of open mindedness isn't jumping to conclusions based on what you *think* are the hard and fast rules surrounding a situation. I could really wax philosophical, here, but someone on the board has already mentioned I appear to have too much free time.

Rule #1 for being open minded: Listen with your ears and not your mouth.
Rule #2 for being open minded: remember there are no rules to being open minded.

Might want to look into Shunryu Suzuki's "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind." It's a quick read and has some life-changing stuff in it.

I'm not sure moving to another continent would do it.

Peace,

Phil

You have to be open-minded if you live in australia. Some days you just have to fuck Kangaroos..

Do i have to move to Australlia?

...The short answer??






Yes.

Some days you just have to fuck Kangaroos..

....? Interesting. Maybe MSC can enlighten me to what you meant??

Do i have to cut my hair, wear shirts and stuff?

no. I have long hair.

...Uh... Yeah, i wear a shirt every now and again...

ThePKH -- I about peed myself when I read that. LOL!!

Nah, no hair-cutting. I cut my hair because it's too frickin' hot in the summer. I wear shirts because I'd probably get fired if I wore my tunic or kilt... Neither or these make a difference about my thinking -- although neckties DO restrict blood flow to the brain...there has to be SOME explaination for upper management decisions, around here...

Ah, well. Back to work, I suppose. :/

Peace,

Phil

When it comes to training yourself to be open-minded about music, it helps to avoid knowing too much about a band, before you give them a listen, so you can't form too many assumptions before you actually hear the music. It's even more effective if you have no idea who you are listening to. This isn't always very easy, so sometimes you have to forcibly forget your preconceptions about a band, and just sit down and listen to it with your full attention.

(Reading over that, it doesn't actually seem all that helpful, but I will post it anyway.)
