So they had this tea party in Boston once upon a time and then there was this rock ‘n’ roll band

It’s Tea Party  Time in Boston and Time to. Grab some Peace of  Mind

Today  marks the  246th  Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party ...Now it’s likely that  there were some Irish Sea shanties and British folk songs played  the  most famous  boston band w2aited a couple of centuries to. Show up on the scene...what is that. Band... well that could be source of some debate so I’ll limit it to bands with the. Word Boston in their. Names and the names have to be. One word.  

Alright in the spirit of. Rock ‘n’ Roll. Philosophy  I offer up  

Peace of Mind.  Performed by Boston and written by.Tom Sholz

Lyrics

Now if you’re feelin’ kinda’ low about the dues you’ve been payin’ (taxation without representation perhaps?”

Future’s comin ‘ much too slow

And you want to run but you just keep stayin’

Can’t decide on which way to go

Chorus

I understand about indecision

But I don’t care if I get behind

People living in competition  

But all I want. Is to have my peace of mind

Now you’re climbing to the top of the company ladder

Hope it doesn’t take too long

Don’t you see there’ll come a day when it won’t matter

Come a day when you’ll be gone

Chorus

Well everybody’s got advice they just keep on givin’

Doesn’t mean too much to me

Lot’s of people. Have to make believe they’re livin’

Can’t decide who they want to be

Chorus

Take a look ahead (repeat)

PHILOSOPHY

This song captures a lot of the bewilderment. Many people face in this. Time of rapid change.  Unfortunately  many people. Aren’t even looking. Toward the future except in fear and  they feel I out of control of  their destiny.  The “tea party folks” dumped the tea in the harbor because they  wanted a different destiny and. Could decide... the people who  feel congruent  with the sentiments in this song are  lost in a wash of change and really are struggling with  that.  It seems  simple to say that we need to teach people. How to adjust through change and teach organizations to  adopt change models of  planning and thinking, however that seems to be so much easier said than done for most.  As Boston says this whole thing leaves  some people  no longer caring about the rat race because they’ve decided the rats have  won and they just want some peace of mind.  Maybe adopting a change  framework. Would provide this peace of mind.  Maybe understanding that. Everything is not. Under your control. Would help too.  

Keep on rocking in the free world... Chorus
