Multiple Musings
The last vestiges of sanity to be found are when reading between the lines, in off comments, and in the occasional "confession"
On one occasion, during which MORNING HAS BROKEN was playing, someone made the comment "No matter which direction popular music chooses to take there will always be a place for a song like this".
Digital is too "bureaucratic". There's no room for error. Even the slightest misalignment can completely shut the operation down.
Dealing with digital devices is too much like dealing with government agencies, the courts, the authorities and the lawmakers. Too many directives, too many procedures, too many clinical terms to memorize.
Analog is more flexible, more malleable, easier to navigate and manipulate, more possible for one to control and direct.
Digital has too much of "a mind of its own", just like your domineering parents and bullying classmates when you were growing up: obstinate, bullheaded, uncompromising, always messing with you and getting their own way all the time.
While listening to the song IN A TURKISH TOWN I realized Ritchie Valens probably never recorded any more songs beyond 1958.
It's quite disenchanting, you know, the notion of a child prodigy dying so young, what with all the useless people we have running around causing problems for everyone else, the idea that someone who could have benefited society would get "snuffed out" so soon is a bit unsettling.
