– guitar – I have a 30 year old grandson. Growing up, the poor guy strained and strained trying to do his classwork in school. I watched him and his frowns while he grunted to figure out his classwork. He never could even get the hang of writing. (I think that an early childhood vaccine may have affected him.)
However, with the internet and YouTube, the boy taught himself guitar and plays like a champ. Incredibly impressive…emotionally moving. And he can jam with other musicians.
Someone linked to a story regarding the effects of mercury, was it, about the scientist woman who spilled some of the matter on her hand and ended up in a world of hurt.
Well, watching that jogged and old memory of me as a kid, when I broke a thermometer, one with mercury in it, of course and I was trying to pick up the exotic liquid with my hands from the carpet. That was a close call, wasn’t it?
I can’t but wonder how much damage stuff like that caused us.
I can vividly remember the age of my life (some 20 years ago) through which I had extreme focus and concentration issues. One thing I changed drastically is sugar consumption. Another, I started paying attention to what I’m paying attention.
A really nice talk, I’d only like to reprove Vinnie regarding his IT prowess, if I may.
While Windows XP was quite good for its time, it really can’t be considered more stable than Windows 7, not to any objective measure. People’s experiences vary greatly, but I have been doing a lot of IT and Windows 7 is quite an improvement. Windows 8 and later improved on some security features further, but shat all over design and the user input and decided to destroy completely any resemblance of privacy windows ever offered. To that effect, I won’t be touching that crap with a ten foot pole.
Of course, every generation of hardware goes hand in hand with software available at the time. An old box running XP great may run later windows iterations terribly.
As far as linux goes, one has to remember there is a number of distributions, many of which are really not intended for mainstream use. And there are those which are, like ubuntu, a great alternative for the open minded mainstream user. The problem being, as always, in people’s minds and habits. Lets never forget that various Windows “cracking” and licensing programs come from Microsoft themselves. They make a lot of profit from the Corporate sector of the market and it behooves them to keep the consumer sector as entangled as possible in their copyrighted digital compatibility world.
Of course, depending on the hardware at hand and specific needs of the end user, mileage may vary a lot when using any of this software.
Lovely chat, by the way, thanks guys!…
Things you made me think about(!):
High priests kept writing from the masses because they thought we’d forget how to memorise stuff; Like long stories, long songs, directions etc. The Kebra Nagast, the Ethiopian Bible, was only written down when some European turned up and said, “Come on guys, this just won’t do!”… (Or did I dream it?)
Other ways to write songs: both at once (words & music); “holistically(?)” – see the shape of the whole song & fill it in like a painting… I’m rambling…
Neil Young on his Tonight’s The Night tour, was expected to play all the big hits from Harvest, by most of the crowd; Instead he played the new album from the beginning. When they started shouting for the famous ones, he said something like, “When I get to the end, I’ll play some songs you’ve heard before”… He got to the end, then he started playing it all again. Loads of people left in disgust; others became the ‘real fans’!
I’ll stop there shall I?!
The Neil Young anecdote is simply terrific lol
I can only imagine what an author feels like when he has to perform his monkey on a chain act, over and over again. I’ll of course keep my right to dislike new ways some of my old bands are taking, but at the same time I shall honor their right to do whatever the hell they want to while finding the middle ground in minding my own business and choosing the products which I prefer to consume.
Never would I stoop so low as to shout at an author “perform this and that.”
