Slash teaches guitar to kids

I found the video above on CNN. Pretty cool stuff. It looks like Slash is using his post-GNR days to inspire kids with his talent. I was impressed with his love of music and what he had to say about it: “[Music] is just as important as math or English or history.” I agree with that. If you google “Confucius” and “music,” you will see that music played an extremely important part of traditional Asian culture. It was considered a necessary subject for educated people. It’s only in the modern age that Asian and Asian American people became preoccupied with math, science, and subjects that deal with hard reality. I think it’s time for a renaissance.

It’s inspiring to see people giving back to communities, especially people with talent, whether it be music, writing, or some other gift. We need to encourage people to give back, and we need to continue to support the arts, especially during these days of economic hardship.
