My original intent was to write about my most recent post on A Perfect Circle song titled, "Judith." However, after a personal experience this week, I decided to post this song as an alternative. "Last Resort" by Papa Roach came on Pandora Radio and I found myself to be incredibly influenced subconsciously by the lyrics and heavy metal—it even altered my thinking momentarily. This being a unique experience I felt inclined to write about it. In my essay, I speak about music's ability to become a power dynamic that shows its force in the historical (through soldiers in Plato's era) and modern era (U.S. Military today). This being most eminent in recent no-touch or music torture cases in the present era. I made comparisons to historical and present day militia in music's ability to imitate and express behavior as well as emotions.
