After closely reading (and annotating) Josh Kun’s essay “Los Angeles is Singing” (from LAtitudes), write a short reflection in response to the following quote:
“Songs can orient us to where we are, ground us in a sense of home, but they can also help us imagine where we want to go and re-imagine just what home can mean.” (183)
For your response, introduce the Kun essay to your readers and bring in the above quote. From there, discuss what you think Kun means by this quote.
After discussing the quote, keep going to reflect on the following questions:
What would you add to Kun’s thinking? In what ways has music been able to function in such ways for you? (Hint: see if you can discuss at least one example).
Thinking about place more specifically, what music do you associate with Los Angeles? Why does this music come to your mind right off? What is it about this music that connects with LA for you (direct lyric references, band/artist roots, mood, culture/history, etc.)?
