Can music change the world?

This is a poster of Jimmy Hendrix . He is making the 666 hand sign with his right hand and making the devil (Metal Horns) with his left hand. The Cobras in the back round are called the Naga. It's a seven headed serpent. It reminds me of the seven headed dragon in Revelation 12:3.

Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great Red Dragon, having Seven Heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.


ALSO

Revelation 12:9
9And the great Dragon was cast out, that Old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

LOL, I know. Once you find out this stuff you don't see things the same way again.

Regardless of your theories, cheachea, this thread is about how music has changed the world.

Art imitates life. Life imitates art. So, it's more of a give and take relationship. Great art doesn't just drop in out of the sky, it's inspired by something in the real world; but that art in turn inspires people and reshapes the way we perceive the world - for good or ill. Music is just another form of art, so the same rules apply there.

I can certainly attest to the change that music can effect in a person’s life, but I think the effect on the world as a whole, if there is one, is very subtle and difficult to perceive.

Look at the book of Isaiah. This book tied to Old Testament together and laid the foundation for the New, and I think the world would look much different today if that book had not been written. Common Sense, The Communist Manifesto, On the Origin of Species and many other books have had an immediate and lasting effect on the course of history. Much of the modern world was imagined by science fiction writers long ago and inspired the next generation of engineers to figure out how to make it possible.

Movies can also be quite powerful, see the effect on the shark population after Jaws came out, and the fact that global warming was taken seriously by the general public after An Inconvenient Truth.

I may not be looking with the right kind of eyes, but I don’t see an example of music having that kind pull in the world, which I think that is very odd, given the effect music has on me and almost everyone I’ve met.
