Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it. – Stevie Wonder

So THAT is what has happened to civilization.
In the past a concerto may last a near ten minutes or longer.
Today’s music lasts 2 to 3 minutes for radio play.
So music sped up for advertisements during radio play
and our experience ends in buying, buying, buying.
Which ends in a three minute hit leading us to buy a toaster
on sale and if this persists we end up buying multiply toasters
ending becoming a “toaster hoarder”!
Because of that we are chastised by our community and looked down
upon just because instead of a calm life of a concerto we end up with
a “do-wa, do-wa” life of radio play.
The shame of it all.
And as Stevie says, “. . . the more memories we have of it.”
Cheers for your Sunday!
