Aino Facebook app (SE v.2)
SE Facebook app (v.2) disappeared during a firmware flash. App seems to now be non-supported by SE in the US. Anyone have an idea where this can be relocated?23.09.10, 23:06
I still have to describe two instances: as a young child the thing that had the most profound impact on me was watching Jimi Hendrix play "The Star-Spangled Banner" live from Woodstock courtesy of NBC. It was exquisite...yet haunting, particularly to a 4-year-old, leaving me with the fact that as beautiful as the world we live in can be, there is still a terrible reality faced at the end of it all, and the lonliness in between the lines only serves to freeze its victim in a terminal frost after the third-degree burn of conflict and conquest...
As a young adult, I would break out into a somewhat self-imposed form of solitary. Watching people go their own ways, marrying and divorcing, abusing substances as well as children, and the so-called "Yuppie" generation whose friendships were based upon bragging rights. I felt a romantic pull to the end of the bar, as depicted in the album "Clutching at Straws" from the Scottish band Marillion. In 1987, this was the closest thing I had heard to a true masterpiece of modern rock, and an accurate depiction of the world as I saw it, and its inherent lonliness once again chillingly reinforcing the words and futility spoken of in Scripture by Solomon ("nothing new under the sun")...
As time progresses so inevitability drives home its message, so the riddle I rhyme still leaves its air of mystery. Though unintentionally neglected on my part, the best explanation I can give is, "You just had to have been there..."
Music in our lives..!
I could not attempt to go into this topic with one song; one circumstance. In the words of the late Jimmie Durante, "I gotta million of 'em". I can remember the first song I ever heard on the car radio, for instance; it was "Light My Fire". My dad had just purchased a brand-new '68 Pontiac Bonneville, and had WLS out of Chicago turned up pretty loud, thinking he was king of the world. Another aspect which comes to mind is a family vacation to DC in '78: I remember a little blond in orange spandex shorts who was touring DC w/family. In those days it was the mind-rock of "2112". Subsequently, while passing through PA, we hit an all-American classic (the Tastee-Freez), and lo and behold this same blond was there...being treated badly by a boyfriend. Thoughts of that run through my mind on occasion to this day, and the soundtrack is usually The Smiths "How Soon is Now?". Then there were all those times in the muscle cars in Ohio; the local stations being a bit more adventurous than the norm. Though I could go on endlessly about songs and circumstance (including my own compositional abilities), I don't want to lose the context of the original post and inquiry, so as follows:I still have to describe two instances: as a young child the thing that had the most profound impact on me was watching Jimi Hendrix play "The Star-Spangled Banner" live from Woodstock courtesy of NBC.

I don't care if it's the original Hanna-Barbera, the Chuck Jones, or the Gene Deitch shorts. Scooby Doo is what happens when MGM terminates your contract...

There is a third element missing from this: "listening". For instance, Pink Floyd "The Wall" in the minds of most draws far different conclusions in the listener, or viewer; depending on which format of media is primary. A couple of books that were turned into cinema really come to mind: "The Portrait of Dorian Gray", and "To Kill a Mockingbird". In both cases, the books leave far more to the imagination in the form of prose and description, yet the short bursts of Technicolor of the "portrait" drive home the point in a way that the book could only fail to visualize...

which is better reading or watching?
There is no definitive answer to this, as it depends on circumstances...There is a third element missing from this: "listening".
