IT IS NOT MY FAULT

  

BLAME IT ALL ON MR. DARWIN

Evolution is a slow and stealthy process.  It creeps up on you when you aren’t paying attention or are on vacation.   Later you notice the new thing and think, “that wasn’t here before.”    So when such   alterations occurred in my lifetime I was impressed with Mr. Darwin’s invention.  Probably you have noticed it too if you are a mature person as I am.   Yes, there have been several certified mutations.   Frig zample newer people can no longer detect any difference between music and noise.   Watch for the puzzled expression on their face whenever they accidentally experience something lovely or clear, with organized tonal structure and lyrical quality.   Their brain goes into the “What can that be?” mode.  And they are uneasy whenever there is any quietness and relieved again to hear pounding or screechy sounds that they believe is music.   And associated with that is an urgent need for loudness.  These mutant persons may not even be able to hear sound so much as they need to feel it.

It is true that sound has vibrations; that is what tickles your ear bones so much.   I do admit that the low 32 foot organ pipes could put a nice tingle out.  But for that sort of thing I have found the naughty personal vibrators do a better job.

But we need to say for the mutant folks that while they have destroyed music, they have brought us a vast new array of (adult) sex machines.   As an older person of course I am shocked.  Well, I was when I put an over sized battery into my…..never mind.  Still I say if we can’t avoid the mutation people we are well advised to use the best of their modern things.  And do that before age dampens whatever vibratory sensation we have left.  Amen
