I came through the door and into a hallway. There were probably two people in this hallway. And this is how I start my frat party experience…
I later end it with free food. What happens in between? Beer, chanting, and people talking about the likes of Foucault and Chomsky. Now I’d like to say two things: 1) I can definitely do without chanting, and 2) Philosophy’s cool but music’s cooler. This leads us to our main point of this post: Why are we discussing philosophy when we can’t even carry on a decent conversation of an amazing band such as The Soda Pop Kids? E.g.:
Me: So yeah, they had a badass argument, they were brilliant, but… you into the Soda Pop Kids?
Anyone Else At The Party: Who are they?
M: Only one of the most essential bands in the Portland punk scene since the Riffs!
AEATP: Eh?
M: Are you serious?
AEATP: What’s Portland?
As you can see this lack of interest in music has led to some of the greatest barriers of communication between humans throughout history. If Hitler would’ve understood that the Jews actually collectively did a pretty-damn-rockin’ cover of Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” he probably would’ve never harmed a single Jew. Unfortunately the musical connection didn’t exist because Hitler was, in fact, one of those ignorant philosophical-but-non-music-loving types. In the end, I just want to clear up this post by saying: If you ain’t into discussin’ music, you’re probably into some sick shit.
