Random Thoughts or Whatever

Can see this happening, with the viewing being enhanced by the background audio. Good point!

If you get the chance, take in "Easy Rider" with double the normal amplitude, and experience how this movie becomes more alive!


Q
For my example, it's that particular book with the bluesy doom-metal of Trouble, that is a band called Trouble, not a song, the lyrics and Eric Wagner's one of a kind voice. It culminates at the end of Manic Frustration in the song "Breathe" when Eric forcefully sings the line "It's not fine to dance and sing when bells of death do ring, and they will ring". This line landed right on the climax of the story. It would work perfectly in a movie version of the book, provided the movie followed the book very closely.
 
Why can't people walk down a sidewalk, around a mall or other public place without staring at their phones? If I am on foot, my phone is in my pocket apart from the occasional glance at the time. If I get a call or text, I stop walking before pulling the phone out of my pocket. Somehow, the idea of getting across a street without getting hit by a car just feels more important to me. Am I alone? :idea:
 
Just maybe they can't stand being alone with only their own thoughts in their heads.
Apparently! This of course begs the question, are people really afraid of themselves? What lurks in their heads that they are unable to face? Makes me think of "Psycho Killer" by The Talking Heads. David Byrne's brilliant verse about how people feel the need to talk when they have nothing to say.

"You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?"


I enjoy being alone and I am not afraid of my own mind. Yes, I certainly am crazy, but it never bothered me and it never will. There is nothing wrong with enjoying one's own company. Maybe most people don't get along with themselves. :dunno:
