This is last week’s podcast. Wonder if they are giving iTunes first showing and deferring access in other places.
I’ve got a song called “The Stranger” about the Christian desire to offer gifts anonymously. Unfortunately, it’s hard to combine anonymity with profitability so one can keep making music.
I suspect the anonymity of many songs in medieval times were due more to social disruption than to Christian charity. But perhaps the latter was occasionally a factor. Not all patrons would seek esteem through patronage, thus requiring their musicians to be famous.
Du Hast, by Rammstein. Not exactly dance music, as the genre is defined.
