Playing the Gee-Gees

Using horses to carry your advertising campaign and reinforcing it year after year is a clever move. In literature and mythology, the horse (or its alter-ego, Pegasus) signifies strength and how you should carry yourself in the face of adversity. The horse serves to remind you to take care of your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. The horse symbolism also speaks about freedom. The horse or Pegasus is a symbol of power, freedom and steadfastness.

So in music the same set of values applies. The horse is used in music to represent freedom (wild), power (white horses) and self-sufficiency. It is a potent symbol of our pioneering spirit with links to deserts, wilderness and exploration. Why wouldn’t musicians want to write the soundtrack to that?

If you thought you knew all about the influence of the equine in rock and roll, think again.The Stones, Byrds, America, Cowboy Junkies, U2, Moby, The Sundays, Bunnymen, Joe Butt from Littlehampton. The whole bridle and groom.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
