[This is now going to be my, every B4IN article, standard opening (as of Dec. 19, 2024):
I get it, I really do, all these outlets are operating as a business… And how do they make money? Advertising! (more continues: /media/2024/07/click-bait-here-click-bait-there-everywhere-click-bait-2515961.html )
Yes, sorry, frankly I TOO find especially the initial Ads (they pile up, to be able to get them viewed in case someone doesn't read the whole article) here interrupting a nice/natural Read flow and are ANNOYING (but it keeps the Site FREE FOR VIEWING no Pay Wall to have to BUY your way past) and conversely their annoyance may indeed keep some from wanting to bother (so, Please, there is some GREAT CONTENT here on B4IN, keep reading the entire pieces despite the annoying Ads) and note if you engage an AD BLOCKER often I have found it/they can cause issues with seeing all the intended article content --- don't want you to miss any of mine, nor anyone else who posts here entire content as intended! The authors images (some or all), videos (some or all), their intended cross-reference links (vs Site produced Ad links, the easy Share-At/On buttons, and more, might also get "blocked" from viewing. And so now, to catch any NEW Readers, I too adding to annoyance having to repeat this over and over. My apologies. I endeavor to always give you DETAILED WRITINGS (and cross-reference related links with other rabbit-holes you can go down) hopefully you'll deem worthy of putting up with the annoying Ads to engage in/with.
I am NOT fond of the changes, but I have been with B4IN a long time now - certainly not looking to leave.
Lastly, note: I also wrote for TheLibertyBeacon (https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard), where I dropped pieces (normally weekly) on Saturdays for the last 3 years (and even RedState back when) and now joined and dropping pieces via SUBSTACK (https://tinyurl.com/JLDonSubstack).]

March Music Weeks 3-1: 

Revolution in Consciousness: A Musical Journey with Franklin Sane…

 

TLDR     In this episode of the ChristiTutional Politics Podcast, host Joseph M Lenard interviews musician Franklin Sane, who shares his journey from hockey to music, his passion for David Bowie, and the importance of mindfulness and meditation in addressing societal issues.

In this episode, we dive into the world of music and consciousness with guest, Franklin Sane, a musician inspired by the legendary David Bowie.

As we kick off this episode, I want to introduce the concept of Music Weeks. Initially, this was meant to be a single week dedicated to music, but it has grown into a multi-week event featuring various artists and discussions. I aim to release episodes from Monday to Friday during this period.

Meet Franklin Sane

Today, I am excited to welcome Franklin Sane to the show. Franklin is a fellow Michigander and a passionate Bowie enthusiast. Although I never had the chance to see Bowie live, I fondly remember his role in the movie Labyrinth. Franklin, on the other hand, embodies the spirit of Bowie through his performances.

From Hockey to Music

Franklin shares his journey from aspiring hockey player to musician. He played in the United States Hockey League but faced a career-ending back injury. This setback led him to pursue his long-held passion for music. He acquired a keyboard and began writing songs, eventually forming his first band, Civilize the Wild. His music, heavily influenced by Bowie, has charted on radio stations worldwide.

The Influence of David Bowie

Franklin discusses the profound impact David Bowie had on his life and career. Bowie was not only a musical genius but also a master of theatrical performance. Franklin admires Bowie’s ability to create memorable characters like Ziggy Stardust and Major Tom, which allowed for limitless creativity in performance.

Musical Theatrics

We delve into the world of musical theatrics, comparing Bowie to other artists like Alice Cooper. Both artists are known for their elaborate stage shows and personas. Franklin expresses regret for never having seen Alice Cooper live, highlighting the importance of theatricality in music.

The Importance of Mindfulness and Meditation

As the conversation progresses, we shift focus to the concept of mindfulness and meditation. Franklin, who has served as a juvenile court judge, emphasizes the need for mental training to combat societal issues such as addiction and violence. He believes that by promoting practices like yoga and meditation, we can help individuals manage their emotions and improve their overall well-being.

A Revolution in Consciousness

Franklin is on a mission to promote what he calls a “revolution in consciousness.” He argues that if more people engaged in mindfulness practices, we could significantly reduce issues like gun violence and addiction. He shares his personal experience with yoga and meditation, explaining how these practices have enhanced his creativity and emotional control.

Music and Creativity

Throughout the episode, Franklin highlights the connection between music and mindfulness. He mentions a song he wrote called “On the Road,” which captures the essence of the meditation experience. He believes that music can serve as a powerful tool for self-expression and healing.

Engaging with the Audience

Franklin invites listeners to connect with him through his YouTube channel and email. He encourages people to explore his music and engage in discussions about mindfulness and creativity. He also shares his plans for future projects, including a new band called The Modern Clouds.

Conclusion

As we wrap up this engaging conversation, I want to thank Franklin Sane for sharing his insights and experiences. His journey from hockey to music, combined with his passion for mindfulness, offers a unique perspective on the intersection of art and consciousness.

Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the CTP Podcast. If you enjoyed this discussion, please consider subscribing and sharing the episode. Together, we can promote a revolution in consciousness through music and mindfulness.
