Maybe we can just accept that this is a fun music theme and not some form of mind control ;) There are lots of artistic challenges on Hive where the creators set a theme. Cabe has opted to set one that we are free to interpret as we like, but he cannot control how we use tags. Maybe he shouldn't say it's the Hive Open Mic as that makes it seem official, but nobody else was doing it. I just don't want people to be put off encouraging participation.
As @cabelindsay says "let's get this place humming and buzzing".
Thank you. Feels great to have your encouragement here.
