Read Ashely, Seth's blog
We tend to dismiss Oral literature because it seems to lack depth.
Banned words: exactly, like, just
For the Musey Rooms:
Don't think about what Sexson wants for the Musey Rooms--what can you do? No model to follow, but take into consideration the examples of Bruno, Camillo, etc
Musey Rooms should contain both archetypes (model/form) and signature (your own)
Language tends to originate with heartfelt, guttural sounds that are fundamentally rhythmic (music)
Eleusinian Mysteries--a Musey Room where people are inducted through doing, seeing, and showing--creates something that is memorable.
Empathetic--one of the nine Ong traits
You enter into the same world and participate sensuously through language
Even the sounds that you might otherwise dismiss are important
The artist, the magician: who hear the music in places where you might otherwise not hear it.
Kane's definition: Myth is not those stories we tell of gods/goddess as these are already literature. We need to get behind the stories to rhythmic grunts.
Myth is the sound, the music made when the earth is singing to itself.
