Once upon a time, in order to hear music, you needed to have someone with an instrument playing the music within earshot. I guess you'd hear more if you yourself owned and instrument and could play.
Today we hear music all the time. There are still musicians, and while they are indispensible, we don't need to have them follow us around all day to hear music all day.
If music makes people happy, or calm, or just makes people feel good, did the whole world become and even better place once we were all able to easily carry music around and play it all the time?

We may all have the ability to carry pre-recorded music around, but we haven't yet reached the stage where we have a customized score for our lives following us everywhere.

Sure you do, hum or sing your own customized score.

Weird you say that.

I think I've discovered what seems to be my theme, in a bit of cartoon music called "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott:

That's an exciting bit of music. Is that a theme to your life now, or how you fantasize your life to be? My life, for example, is exceedingly dull and boring, but I wouldn't choose music that sounds boring to be my theme.

It feels like a theme to the way my life works. Very mechanical. Not necessarily exciting, but occasionally... certainly busy.

That is a great classic song

I think, next time I feel moved to tell someone they're lying, I might suggest that their statement lacks truth.

If you can read this you are too close.

Yes!  That sounds like the soundtrack for riding the bus to work, or something like that.  Family Guy did this once but I can't find the episode.

Its indeed about transportation - his stolen cruiser bike.

I have this weird feeling, rightly or wrongly, that I'm about to do something that turns me into a kind of pariah somewhere. Or, at least, it'll piss a lot of people off and I won't understand why.

Not to worry, fleeb.
If it is truly a Grand Enough Deed, somoeone will eventually write an opera about it.

Probably Wagnerian in spirit, just to spite me.

How about "La Fleeba Ladra".... ;)

Heh... a bel-canto opera of the making of a pariah. That actually would be very appropriate for me.

Heh... you don't tend to hear people say, "Building on past failures..."

As in:

"Building on past failues, I think I'll play in traffic."

Or:

"Building on past faieurs, I'll misspell 'failure' again."

No one glorifies failures -- unless you simply spell it "fail" -- in which case the Internet's meme machine will sing your praises.
