Mannequin on the Moon by Ian Boothby and Pia Guerra for June 29, 2022

Well, he’s at the right age for it.

Well turn it down, anyway.

AC/DC is not noise.

My knees can play a mean percussion.

You might want to get a second (or even third) opinion.

What’s music and what’s noise can be very subjective.

One man’s music is another man’s obscenities and thud from a car.

The rap in Rap Music is like the word knight and even better. The “C” in front is not only silent but invisible.

When you are tempted to “share” your music with your neighbors, remember that they don’t get the stereophonic, full-spectrum subtleties. Mostly they get the bass, which can penetrate several walls and resonate in similar-sized rooms hundreds of feet away. Headphones and earpods are very good today.

And there seems to be no cure. Whoa if there was a vaccine for curmudgeon. And it is quickly followed by “Hey, get off my lawn!” syndrome. I think they should all be made to wear a self identifying shirt that says “Hey, look at me, I’ve got one foot in the grave!” But I guess somebody has to buy all the prunes and Metamucil.

Don’t worry, it’s not fatal. I’ve had it several times over the years.
