@JackTheCat @DigitalTaoist The first steps in a fascist world where music is banned altogether?

China banned dancing for a long time (and the music that would have accompanied it). I think North Korea is still hardcore too these days when it comes to 'foreign culture'. Some school kids just got 10 years in NK for watching South Korean soap operas, I believe.

@DigitalTaoist @JackTheCat Jesus. That is really inhumane. As bad as physical violence AFAIC. Here in UK it would be difficult to say the least banning any form or genre of music. Never mind the monetary positives that would make it mad to interfere, the young - at least - would explode.

For myself, I can honestly say I wouldn't want to live in a world without music 😢

@DigitalTaoist @JackTheCat I couldn’t survive without music. That’s why I feel so strongly about it. Music is my life.

@PaulNickson @DigitalTaoist Even 'jazz'? 😂

@JackTheCat @DigitalTaoist Debatable! I like some jazz genres, namely jazz-rock, jazz fusion or jazz funk (eg Hancock, Corea) but certainly not modern jazz or ‘no-note’ jazz as I call it. I used to record the live gigs for Radio 3’s Jazz on 3. Some of those were really out there!
