For those of you that really know me (to quote one of the most talented people I have the pleasure of calling 'friend'. "Thank you both, very much!"... Mr. Bill Ervin) music is 97.22% of my quintessence, i.e. make up, personality, my Id [not identification, but my Id...); ... maybe 2.7% to 5.83% more... give or take (and yes, I realize that is is beyond 100%). In short, I love music. Can't compose, but can express it by either singing, playing, dancing to, or hearing... just a step beyond listening to. I'm talking about music, not noise. I think if I had been educated, my musical talents may have evolved, but the chills come from the past, the elite: Bethoven (deaf), Motzart (composed operas on paper without any corrections), Ray Charles (blind) and, yes, even Michael Jackson. The music, the sensation, the expression was already in their heads. They just had to dump it onto paper, and after remix, we get to hear it, dance to it, sing to it, heal with it.
So, duh, right? Yea, I have a point. I am 53 and one of the sexiest musicians I have ever appreciated and continue to absorb, is Prince. Yeah, Prince. "Purple Rain" is one of the best albums... ever. So, when I set up a sound system; for music, I test the SOUND with Purple Rain. For my self-wired, video surround sound systems, I use Jurrasic Park... the part where they pop the cork in celebration of successful manipulation of dinosaur DNA and reproduction. ( love that movie ) { Ok, not to forget to metion the intellictually HOT Jeff Goldblum}, I know my surround sound is connected correctly when I can hear the cork pop and bounce around all 4 speakers!
So, WTF, you ask? Well, when the music speakers, balance, treble and base are perfect, Purple Rain ROCKS. (maybe just me, but there are some really HOT songs on that soundtrack...) I just installed a new stereo system and speakers in my '97 Honda, and yes, I did it myself with never-less-than-reliable Google's resources.(ok, so I had a couple of screws left after I disassembled the dashboard...) I purchased Purple Rain for the sound check. OH YEAH... perfect.
Again, SO? Well, I also use Purple Rain to lift my spirits when played on the perfectly balanced, rockin' , sound system.
Today, I felt a need to "experience" Prince's music due to a less-than-perfect day. So, I inserted the CD in the amazing sound system that my niece has, and turned it UP!!
Side note: My niece has 3 dogs, which I MUST HUG, and a snake, named Butter. (Don't know, don't care)
I maxed the surround sound, and inserted Purple Rain...
This was the affect on the snake, Butter... (please note, that he is curled up, reptile-like 24 hrs a day, everyday, all the time.)
The dogs danced with me. Must hug them, so they know it's ok.
