Overview
The biggest spiritual story of our time is hugely untold. The decline and evaporation of institutional religion has rewired lives throughout society. Once a source of identity and confidence our inherited format making Sense of It All has been in free fall since the Beatles gave way to 70s soft rock; since Michael Jackson and MTV reigned with 80s power ballads and 90s singer songwriters, since hip hop pulled samples from past and present in the 2000s, and since streaming gave us the Infinite Playlist.
Hard won existential struggles are here accompanied by heroes and heroines accompanying the way. Radio, 45s, LPs, 8-Track, Cassette and on to MP3s and Streaming are the chapter headings and unique metaphor shaping the story. Transitioning from childhood inheritance to adolescent conviction to revolutionary young adult doubt to a rich new plurality is the journey. The inner format changes we experience promise challenge, emotional growth, and newfound freedom.
