Obviously.

I was cleaning, but could go no further. Obviously. I’ll pick up my robe later.

We watched a Cecilia Bartoli concert from 1988 last night. Dylan mentioned she’d toured through when we were in Boston, only found out after sold out, and prohibitively expensive anyway. I was thinking of bemoaning how expensive concert tickets have become, far above middle income affordability. And how classical music concerts once had cheap seats, and were popular at all levels of society. But that’s misleading. How many people ever heard Beethoven’s 5th in his lifetime? As many as hear it on any given day today?

Music is much more available now, of the best quality. Music for most people throughout history has been mostly self made, to make work easier, - so repetitive and simple. The more complicated music was for festivals, the rich, for religion.

Pop music is just commercialized work songs, and we don’t even have to sing or play instruments.

This is not a matter of good or bad, just a different version of the same function.

Found a weed whacker for $5 at a yard sale. This will make garden care a bit easier next spring.
