[This is now going to be my, every B4IN article, standard opening (as of Dec. 19, 2024):
I get it, I really do, all these outlets are operating as a business… And how do they make money? Advertising! (more continues: /media/2024/07/click-bait-here-click-bait-there-everywhere-click-bait-2515961.html )
Yes, sorry, frankly I TOO find especially the initial Ads (they pile up, to be able to get them viewed in case someone doesn't read the whole article) here interrupting a nice/natural Read flow and are ANNOYING (but it keeps the Site FREE FOR VIEWING no Pay Wall to have to BUY your way past) and conversely their annoyance may indeed keep some from wanting to bother (so, Please, there is some GREAT CONTENT here on B4IN, keep reading the entire pieces despite the annoying Ads) and note if you engage an AD BLOCKER often I have found it/they can cause issues with seeing all the intended article content --- don't want you to miss any of mine, nor anyone else who posts here entire content as intended! The authors images (some or all), videos (some or all), their intended cross-reference links (vs Site produced Ad links, the easy Share-At/On buttons, and more, might also get "blocked" from viewing. And so now, to catch any NEW Readers, I too adding to annoyance having to repeat this over and over. My apologies. I endeavor to always give you DETAILED WRITINGS (and cross-reference related links with other rabbit-holes you can go down) hopefully you'll deem worthy of putting up with the annoying Ads to engage in/with.
I am NOT fond of the changes, but I have been with B4IN a long time now - certainly not looking to leave.
Lastly, note: I also wrote for TheLibertyBeacon (https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard), where I dropped pieces (normally weekly) on Saturdays for the last 3 years (and even RedState back when) and now joined and dropping pieces via SUBSTACK (https://tinyurl.com/JLDonSubstack).]

March Music Weeks 1-1: 

 

 

Exploring Music, Community, and Faith with John Vento

 

TLDR   In this episode of the Constitutionalists Politics Podcast, host Joseph M Lenard interviews musician John Vento about his journey in music, the importance of community, and the message behind his new song ‘We’re In This Together.’ Vento discusses his experiences, the impact of music on social issues, and his charitable work with Band Together Pittsburgh.

 

In this episode of the Constitutionalists Politics Podcast, host Joseph M Lenard introduces the concept of Music Weeks, a series that has expanded beyond its original scope to include multiple episodes. The podcast aims to drop episodes Monday through Friday, showcasing various artists and their contributions to music.

 

Meet John Vento

Joining Lenard is John Vento, a musician from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Vento shares his background, including his time living in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and his unexpected journey into music. He humorously clarifies that he is not related to the Mentos candy brand, setting a light-hearted tone for the conversation.

 

The Current Climate and Music’s Role

As they discuss the current political climate, Vento expresses concern over the negativity prevalent on social media and the division it causes among families. This backdrop inspired his song “We’re In This Together,” which emphasizes the need for community and understanding in challenging times. Vento notes that the song’s message is rooted in biblical principles, advocating for unity rather than division.

 

The Band and Its Members

Vento explains that his band, Needs Hotel Band, is not a typical group but rather a collective of artists, including two talented female singers, Megan Paulette and Mia Z. Both singers bring their unique voices and energy to the project, enhancing the overall sound and message of the music.

 

From Corporate Life to Music

Before his music career, Vento worked for Westinghouse Corporation and never envisioned himself as a musician. His journey began unexpectedly when he participated in karaoke at a local bar, which led to an audition for a band. This serendipitous moment marked the start of his musical path, illustrating how opportunities can arise in the most unexpected ways.

 

Band Together Pittsburgh Charity

Vento is also a co-founder of Band Together Pittsburgh, a charity that creates music programs for individuals on the autism spectrum. He describes the initiative as a divine intervention, highlighting the organic and magical way it came together. The charity relies on volunteers who share a passion for helping others through music.

 

Remember Me Rose Garden

In addition to his musical endeavors, Vento is involved with the Remember Me Rose Garden, a memorial honoring the heroes of Flight 93. His friend, who was part of the planning team, invited him to contribute, and Vento describes the experience as moving and powerful. He emphasizes the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by those passengers and the collective spirit of heroism.

 

The Importance of Voluntary Community

Throughout the conversation, Vento stresses the difference between voluntary community service and forced collectivism. He believes that true community arises from individuals choosing to come together for a common cause, contrasting this with the coercive nature of Marxist ideologies. Vento’s perspective is rooted in his Christian faith, which informs his understanding of community and service.

 

Future Projects and Messages

As the discussion wraps up, Vento shares that while they have just released their new song, they are always looking for ways to spread positive messages through music. He acknowledges the obligation to help others, especially those who are less fortunate, and encourages listeners to participate actively in their communities.

 

Conclusion

In closing, Lenard thanks Vento for sharing his insights and experiences. The episode serves as a reminder of the power of music to foster community, inspire hope, and encourage individuals to take action for the greater good. Vento’s journey from corporate life to music, along with his charitable work, exemplifies the impact one person can have when they choose to follow their passion and serve others.
