Our perception of pitch and harmony is
dictated by the geometry of our cochlea, the little spiral that does
our hearing for us. That's why some musical ideas remain, even after
decades, as popular as a cuisine based on steel wool and chlorine. As
if a seamstress, tiring of shirts, skirts, pants, had invented a new
garment for a body part that simply did not exist. Doesn't the term
avant-garde imply that somebody is being led somewhere? It seems if
you claim to be a leader you'd occasionally look over your shoulder
to see if there was anybody back there.

- I know you have your choice of blogs; thank you for choosing 100 word rant. I believe that any idea that needs more than 100 words isn't worth expressing in the first place. So I've dedicated myself to these rants: One hundred words, no more, no less, each and every week. I want to reach out, share some of my insights and, yes, a little of the wisdom I've picked up in my journey through this funny thing we call life. Plus, I don't get paid for this, and even a hundred free words is more than I can afford.
