Seven observations
1. There is a palpable sadness in the song ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ that takes it beyond pop music and helps it become something rather transcendent
2. Gin is good but also devilish and we must not trust it.
3. Have you ever tried to catch a falling knife?
4. We must never lose sight of the hand-clap. The human voice and the human sound have a unique texture that is inextricably tied to music.
5. Thus, the snare drum is the sound of the hand clap mechanized.
6. We’re not listening to each other.
7. There are two sides on two sides on all of us pulling our better selves apart and against the inside. On the inside you have the fear and the self-doubt like bound sheets, hard and full and powerful. And on the frayed edges you have the wind stretching out your anxiety like a main sail in a storm.
