LMAO. No. I have a metal plate in my head.

And why wouldn't it have metaphysical properties? How could that demean the individuality of it? If anything it Individuates music.

The world is full of mumbo jumbo, it's what you do with it that counts, it all comes down to our individual perceptions, paradigms, Winston Churchill said;

I know the song though, so don't worry.



No mighty I am beyond being offended by anything. I was yanked on a few posts upward. I was making a little joke.

Yep. That memory is what got me started on this thread. Darwin's 'thoughts' turned conclusions. Assuming he is right, and he could be; music has certainly evolved over the thousands of years into much more than a means to attract a sexual partner. Especially a physically fit partner.

Unless of course, they took up dancing. Bands get the chicks. If Joe Schmo wants the chicks, he better know how to step up and dance man.

We will find out I believe.

"Everything dissolves into the root of its own nature".

So, maybe we will remember next time. And, hopefully 200,000 years from now, we won't be having this discussion

Unless it is 4.5 billion years. Memories fade after a while.

You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer!

Excellent. I believe old Winston was spot on. I am fairly certain that is how it works.

I am going to look for more of his quotes. He evidently knew some things. Not bad for a politician. thanks sirius.

Hope you like the Stones.



peace

While the imagination is worthy of note I don't think it's a governing body, perhaps that explains the language barrier here. Just be careful not to get guided by fancy too much or you might end up lost in the back of your own head, although depending on the perspective that might be a fantastic proposition.

SIRIUSB

What makes you think imagination is not a governing body? Personally for me it is much more important than the physical.

I believe there to be an objective universe: all that makes up the mathematical, physical, everything within time and space . . . and the subjective universe: the creative, imaginative mind, that essence of us that lies outside of the objective universe.

You guys mentioning Winston Churchill reminds me of the single "Fools Overture" by Supertramp. This particular song is one of my all-time favorite singles.


"Fool's Overture" is the closing track from Supertramp's 1977 album Even in the Quietest Moments. Written and sung by guitarist, keyboard player, singer and songwriter Roger Hodgson, the song tells about World War II Britain and the lessons learned from it. The song, which is over 10 minutes long, is a collage of progressive instrumentation and sound samples. First there are excerpts of Winston Churchill's famous June 4, 1940 House of Commons speech regarding Britain's involvement in World War II ("Never Surrender"), and later sounds of police cars and church bells are heard.

It's a tried and tested line of inquiry that has led to such things as leaving many people without their vital organs in order to keep the sun happy, simply put I find it unreliable. I believe imagination can only be useful in explaining things if we already know everything to begin with, otherwise it will run away with itself.

Oh Mr. Rubato. I don't get guided by fancy. I'm guided with a rope around my neck. A ball and chain around my ankles. A 10 ton cross over my shoulders of burden.

I can't even light a cigarette

Just kidding. I'm exaggerating. It's only 9 tons

My next up on the evolutionary scale is probably a teenage mutant ninja turtle.

But, I will sing, so I don't get

Sorry if I am being nonsensical. I need some sleep. Just throwing out some humor.

Have not looked him up yet, but, I believe imagination is actually a governing body. I believe it the only source we have to create anything.

Mine is in anarchy right now. Waiting on a mandate of heaven, and create a Confucian style socialist utopia. Dirt poor, because, of the corporate global capitalist fascist pigs oppressing the back of my head

I was thinking about posting Mr. Roboto for you, but, I hate that song. Here's a good Styx song.



I know I'm off-topic, so, sorry folks.

peace

Do you mean by the imagination "running away with itself" like this particular single might suggest?
