Right now we are with G. Love.
It looks like we're live, we're building an audience.
Um, so, welcome to Heads Talking!
This is the first edition of Heads Talking its a HeadCount discussion series.
We want anyone listening to comment, ask us questions, um, and we're just chatting with
Garrett!
Let's hear it.
What, um, work are you doing, or, do you have anything lined up to help bring music into
schools?
Yes, so, uh, one of the organizations that I work with is called Little Kids Rock, and
you can look them up littlekidsrock.org.
Little Kids Rock.
This is a great organization that, seeks to bring music programs into impoverished public
schools around our country that have lost their funding for music departments.
And, so I've done, um, and its great.
I'll go to a public school, and, where they are able to open up a program, and they bring
in, you know, a music teacher and, this is great because it becomes its not just like
a one time thing.
Like this is, they're setting up an independently funded music class and program taught by,
you know, a professional music teacher in these schools.
And its really wonderful.
And the thing about music and education, why is it so important?
Well, oh yeah, we need the kids to study history and math and English, but really, uh , statistically
it is a proven fact that children that study arts, visual and musical, within the classroom,
excel in their other studies as well.
And also have a higher percentage of graduating.
And, you know, they have something to be proud of and can discover an unknown talent, so
it's really sad to see, when the funding for, whenever they cut the funding for the education
system the first thing to go is always the arts and music.
So a lot of public schools here in New York and all across the country have lost their
music program.
So Little Kids Rock does a good thing to bring back some of those programs.
Somebody actually asked, earlier asked if you could sing a little "Superhero."
Feel free to sing, if you want to.
"Every once in a while I got to use these super powers.
Even though savin' the world's out of style.
It ain't my fault all this bad stuff is happening, but now its time I put my foot on down."
And then, um.
And then it goes: "Change is comin' over me and my muscles growin' so I freestyle my ass
across the USA and solve the economy, the homeless problem, save what's left of
the environment, create jobs for everybody be doing something they wanna be doin'.
If you can't do smack then you better do somethin' 'cause this is the time we sure can't do nothing."
And the other verse goes, uh: "Then I'll fly overseas and set all the slaves free from
prostitution, sweat shops, child labor.
Solve the myriad of problems in the Middle East, make a sun powered car so we don't have
to fight for oil fields.
And I'll take all of the troops back from wherever they roam, and whatever they're fighting
and whatever side they're on.
And I'll send them on the first plane home to their moms, and we can make coffee tables
out of all these bombs."
A reminder from our good friend JR from Ohio that the next election, the next presidential
election might be in four years, but the next election for most of us is in ten months,
in November.
And I know in New York we have primaries for our next mayor's race in I think September.
So its not just in four years, or three and a half years, its in three months, its in
seven months.
So, yeah.
I'm gonna actually, just really quick, I'm gonna pull up some dates right now.
On that.
Ok, so, November 6, 2018.
That's the date on which 33 Senate seats, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives,
and 14 governorships will be up for re-election.
So, that's November 6th, 2018.
So that's a little bit longer, but, put in on your calendar, research and be informed.
Help and encourage others to do the same thing.
Start planning and get ready for your voice to be heard.
And figure out now, because like we said, it does start on a local level.
That's where a lot of the change comes.
On a regional level.
So yeah.
You gotta get out there and make your voice heard.
Not just for the big bang every four years.
But all the smaller elections.
Alright, well thank you so much.
That was awesome.
Thank you, and hope to talk to you again!
