A People's History of North American Music

A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICAN MUSIC

A new lecture / film / slideshow that attempts to tell the entire history of North American music in ninety minutes!

Mississippi Record label and store founder Eric Isaacson will guide you through this whirlwind presentation of archival film, sound clips and images.

Subjects include:

- Examples of industrialization devolving the human race to become dumber while other animals are getting smarter.

- The insane early American Puritan's visions of a utopian musicless society.

- How The Church Of Scientology saved the record industry.

- A brief history of Mississippi Records and details about the many chips on their shoulders.

- The dystopian world of Spotify and AI music.

- Hopeful messages about the future.

Overall, it's the story of how the powers that be try to control music and people throughout history finding ways to work outside puritans, corporations and tech lords' systems despite these social engineers' best efforts.

Don't worry, it's a fun telling of this tale with lots of great music, images and wild stories.
