You know those commercials on radio and television where they repeat the phone number to call for more information? ..... Well they must have done extensive research that tells them how many times is best to repeat a number so that people will remember it but I can 100% without a doubt tell you that it's on the third rapid fire mention of the phone number where I'm shouting: "Shut the hell up!!!"
This is something bouncing through my head almost daily these days. Always thinking: "What Heppened here? I was young just recently wasn't I?" After age thirty or forty, time just seems to accelerate. It feels like you've lost control. Before you know it you're 50 and you close your eyes for a second and when you open them, 60 is right in front of you. And you wish that you would have better understood, twenty or thirty years ago, how the pace of passing time picks up. You think of a favorite record album and can't believe that it was thirty years ago when it was released. But the date stamped on the back of the record cover says 1986 and you do the math .... and still think: "What the hell!!"
Took the facebook music snob test and scored "major music nerd," ..... even though I only admitted to 31 of the 100 nerd talking points. Much of what I failed to claim didn't really apply to my age group or current tech geek status. Though I prefer to think of myself as sophisticated or eclectic as opposed to a verifiable nerd, I'll accept the nerd or geek label as well.
Maybe it's my age and prejuidices showing but I just can't get into new music these days. At least the stuff that they still make music videos for. I'll watch a couple hour long video programs on a cable television channel .... And there's NOTHING exciting. It mostly seems inspired by the worst of the previous four or five decades. There's nothing where I can see the people who are producing and recording it, upon completion honestly saying to themselves: "This is classic. They'll be playing this on the radio years from now." It will just be long forgotten.
