True vehicles of sound devotion
Often a seemingly simple thing like “music” is brushed aside as unimportant for those uninitiated. In this wonderful entry on Veggie Burritos, we find a double meaning to the reggae sound system.
But the true meaning of the sound system, or the “sound” as the reggae devotees call it, is deeper. It’s a vehicle for bringing people together. Neighbors who otherwise wouldn’t hang out or talk to one another end up dancing and laughing together. It gives people a chance to slow down and escape the hustle and bustle of city life through music.
(A very similar sentiment found at MacWorld.)
