Today’s class was an attention grabber. I’m a Christian and talking about how God is a boundary-transgressing animal was interesting for me. I had very really thought about God is something that is both spirit and man which kinds of defies all the law of everything. Then talking about it on a nonspiritual level; lobsters, they walk/crawl around on the bottom of the water. Water is for the land of the swimming, however, lobsters transgress that boundary.

Then in terms of people, they are also known for being boundary transgressors. White people use to blacken their faces as a form of protest, so they would be transcending the boundaries of race. All of these can then be applied to the world of music. When you think of Country music you generally think about a white guy with a beard and a cowboy hat on. But today there are a handful of African American country music singers. One county music singer that I think of as being a boundary transgressor is Taylor Swift. She started off as a Country singer and now she is a pop singer. However, in the later years of her country carrier, you could start hearing some of those Pop elements in her songs.   This makes Taylor Swift a country singer in a Pop world; a transgressor of boundaries.
