NAMING GUITAR AFTER HITLER SOLVES DUALITY PROBLEM FOR
JEWISH SINGER/SONGWRITER
Los Angeles based folk artist, Laura Cohn, named her guitar Rosie Hitler as part of a one-woman show she wrote and performed in 2003 in order to solve a science problem in her life. The cause and effect law in physics which states that ’For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” became an issue for Laura Cohn to address in her work after 9/11. “September 11th represents how a law in science works in life for me.”, said Cohn.
Along with millions of people, Laura Cohn watched the towers burn on the news and learned about Al Qaeda for the first time that fateful morning. She saw the outpouring of love that came to the victims in the event that shocked the nation and changed the world. As the impact unfolded, one question came to mind for this relatively unknown Jewish songwriter.
“If an action of extreme hatred brought in such a tremendous amount of love, then wouldn’t an action of love also bring in hatred?” became the question that disturbed Cohn in her mind. Cohn wondered “if there was a way to sing about love and peace without creating the need for hatred and turmoil to show up so that things would get balanced out.” said Cohn.
Cohn is a spiritual artist, singer/songwriter who graduated from Tulane University with a B.A. in Political Science. She became a private pilot at 17.
Her website, www.LauraCohnMusic.com, has a video clip of her introducing the guitar during her show.
She is performing a concert of her music on September 24th with her band at CAP, 11316 Ventura Blvd., in Studio City. 818-506-5111. www.completeactorsplace.com.
A quote from her blog page, www.LauraCohnMusic.com/blog, gives some insight as to why Laura Cohn would do something like this…“One thing that most people don’t know about me is that I tend to experiment with things in a methodical way. I look at science and math and nature to find patterns when I need new answers.” So how has naming her guitar panned out?
“Not that art needs to be explained, but an interesting thing began to happen after I used the name for my guitar. Negative energy stopped showing up in my artistic life. Something got balanced out with me. Something wasn’t creating problems anymore. I could focus on love and truth and it wasn’t attached to hatred or lies in any form of duality.”, said Cohn.
