Who put the rock in with the rolls?
Went to see Cuff the Duke tonight--they were backing up this other guy. Someone on the same label.
It was an exciting show, but it made me wonder--how much of the experience of going to a show is dependent upon the enormous amplification systems. How much of the excitement is just your body's fight or flight-reaction to such an incredibly loud noise?
Though, to be fair, musicians have never been afraid to use volume to get your attention... Think of the surprise symphony, or Tchaikovski writing cannon parts.
Was is Tchaikovski? Did I spell Tchaikovski right? Probably not, but you get the reference.
My current addiction: Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow I am an elite uber-spy! (Fear and trembling is the appropriate reaction.)
You kids all stay safe now,
