And the Cord You Rode In On.
Art is an essential part of what makes us human beings. The ability to create, for the sake of creation and for the sake sharing that creation with others, is an urge that appears to be, if not unique amongst the creatures on this planet, is at the very least a rare trait indeed.
Our art is is both a reflection of who we are as a people, and in many important ways, it is the sum of who we are as a people.
It is our hopes, our dreams, and our fears. It a snapshot of our history, a reflection of the present, and a glimpse of where we are heading in our future.
Of the many types of art one of the most ubiquitous is music.
Music is everywhere. It’s broadcast wherever you go. It reminds you to buy things. It can make you feel powerful emotions that you didn’t even suspect where there. You even use it to celebrate peoples birthdays.
If you ever doubt the power that music has watch the movie Halloween without music. Or Jaws. Or The planet landing scene from Starship Troopers. The music is what made those scenes into the experience that they are.
Which is why I am so upset that thousands of years of artistic and musical development has brought us to this.
Fuck you Western Civilization. Fuck you very much.

At least yours is still there. At 0.05 seconds mine went for the eject button. I didn’t know it had installed one. How the hell am I supposed to work today if my brain has run off hiding somewhere? Oh well, I’m sure it’ll come back if it gets cold or hungry.

I gave up on watching pro-rasslin’ many years ago. Back when WWE ended with an F.
…
I enjoyed the story lines back then, for some reason.
… that video should not exist. :6

Catbunny, I to gave up on the WWF before the F became an E. When they “retired” all the good characters, that was the end of it for me.

I thank everyone here for the warnings on the video. I already dislike rap. I am not a masochist, so I won’t even attempt to watch that video.

I got Art Appreciation flashback just from Skippy’s introduction. (96 hours to do a RESEARCH paper–yes, it was an online class. Yes, I gave up and flunked it.)

They block that media stuff here at work, and normally I’d rush home to check it out, but after reading the replies, not gonna do it, wouldn’t be prudent.
I’m still gonna wear my “Get the F Out” t-shirt. It may not be classy, but it’s classic.

Maybe this (which Mrs. Skippy put me onto) would help or this(which are both funny but this one is actually music.
