Having lived many years, I have discovered that history repeats itself. A lot. A lot a lot. One of my favorite originals of all time, however, was a man who survived floating down a river in a grass basket. His name? Moses.
Moses, like many other people, had a love for music. But his style wasn't what you would expect from a man back in the Egyptian days. He took no interest in blowing through a goat horn or plucking the strings of a lute. No, his passion was for a beat that had a combined feeling of blues, country, and gospel music - rock and roll.
See, growing up in the palace of Egypt, Moses didn't have many rules. He lived his life on a rebellious edge. Growing up together, he and I accidentally caused the nose of the second sphinx to fall off (firecracker incident. lots of firecrackers, too much free time). After that we decided to keep it more low key and start a rock band. It was just a tomb band (aka garage band) at the beginning, but then our popularity grew and the peasants enjoyed our music so much that we started performing shows for the public. We called our band We Have Ancestors From Israel and We Like Rock Music, but for short it was just Israel.
Our Hebrew fans (they called themselves the children of Israel)began to get out of control with their passion for our music. They would even ditch work and risk their lives to come hear some of that ole' time rock n' roll. Because of this extreme behavior, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV found out about our band and ordered us to leave the kingdom at once. ( see, he hated anything but classical music. unhealthy. ) So we left. But soon after we left (and after God talked to Moses through a bush) we returned to take our fans (which were now being treated poorly because of their previous behavior) and run away.
After that time, we were unable to play rock and roll. We needed to keep ourselves and our fans undercover and safe. We traveled for 40 years until we reached the promised land, but considering Moses' age, our band became uncool and the power and love of rock and roll faded.
Now you may contradict me and say that Elvis was the father (some considered him a king) of rock and roll. I tell you he was not. This story of Moses was changed in the Bible hundreds of years ago though when parents attempted to suppress the influence of the rebellious attitude the story gave to their children. Unhealthy. So every time you hear that good ole' time rock n' roll, just remember the man that created the beautiful recipe of unforgettable music.
