Broken down into a series of core points and action plans, it expands upon Brennan\u2019s previous music missives,\u00a0<i>Silenced by Sound: The Music Meritocracy Myth\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0<i>How Music Dies (or Lives).<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Popular culture has woven itself into the social fabric of our lives through images and earworm hooks. Justice, at most levels, is something one may have little influence upon, leaving us feeling helpless and complacent. But pop music is a neglected arena where concrete change can occur. By exercising active and thoughtful choices to reject the low-hanging, omnipresent commercialized and prepackaged fruit, we begin to rebalance the world, one engaged listener at a time.<\/p>\n<p>In fifty-nine clear and concise points, Brennan reveals how corporate media has constricted local cultures and individual creativity, leading to a lack of diversity within \u201cdiversity.\u201d\u00a0<i>Muse-Sick<\/i>\u2019s narrative portions are driven and made corporeal via the author\u2019s ongoing field-recording chronicles of places\u00a0including Comoros, Kosovo, Pakistan, and Rwanda, with disparate groups such as the Sheltered Workshop Singers, brought to life by Marilena Umuhoza Delli\u2019s striking photographs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Published: 10\/19\/2021 | Format: Paperback | Pages: 128<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":59368,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[49],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-59370","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-books","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/59370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=59370"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=59370"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fireandflames.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=59370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
