“It's an honor for me to close out Mysteryland. In American music history this is hallowed ground. I think electronic music has a lot in common with the spirit of rock and roll and what Woodstock had going on at the time. We are kind of the new kids on the block and this music isn't accepted by everyone so we are still kind of getting into pop culture and I think its appropriate that this festival is here and kicking down the door.” ThinkingKindStillsKidsSpiritCultureCommonDoorsRocksHonorMusic IsPopsAcceptedBlockAppropriateRock And RollFestivalsPop CultureKickingElectronic MusicAmerican MusicWoodstockHallowed Ground Author:Kaskade

“Cross-cultural reality testing forces people to examine both their own and others' understandings of reality. Most people simply assume that the way they look at things is the way things really are, and judge other cultures' views of reality before understanding them. These judgments are based on ethnocentrism, which closes the door to further understanding and communication. Furthermore, ethnocentric judgments keep missionaries from examining their own beliefs and values to determine which of them are based on biblical foundations and which on their cultural beliefs.” PeopleWayLooksRealityValuesCultureBeliefForceUnderstandingViewsDoorsJudgingCommunicationJudgmentCrossesFoundationAssumingDetermineBiblicalTestingExaminingOther CulturesBeliefs And Values Author:Paul G

“Even a hundred and fifty years ago, football was popular because it provided a manly spectacle that lots of men needed, after the industrial revolution. We went from a culture that lived out doors and expanded the frontier and fought the Indians to a bunch of guys in offices. So football provided this jolt, a kind of exalted cult of masculinity. And it still does that. Perhaps even more so today.” MenYearsKindDoeStillsTodayGuyCultureDoorsFootballRevolutionNeededOfficeHundredYears AgoBunchFiftyCultMasculinityFrontiersExaltedManlyIndustrial Revolution Author:Steve Almond
