Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 28, 2022

On my way to work I sing the March of the Winkies.

On my way home, I sing Bohemian Rhapsody:

I listen to Wagner and heavy metal to get into the mad-science mood, and switch to Enya and Kenny G to be less evil at home.

Try both places…Light Of Day

The Boss, Bruce Springsteen w/E Street Band

Live in Italy 1993

Violet continued, un-phased by this assault upon her logic and logistics. “Yes. You are getting it now. There is no reason for you to withdraw in the fashion that you have, just to pursue new interests. And there is no reason for your friends and loved ones to feel so aggrieved by it. But there it is, all the same. Context sets the mood. Without the context of the untimely demise, there is no reason for you to withdraw so entirely, or for others to feel any loss at your withdrawal. The tonality of the moment exists in harmony with the environment. It isn’t real in any immediate sense, but it is real in an approximate sense. We are as much affected by our environment as we have an effect upon it. We are not just travelers in the world, but a vital part of it, living members of a universal community. Your role at this time should be to maintain your relationships. The dead are not departed or forgotten, after all, just within the limits of their own time, as are we all. That time is not gone. We are not gone from it. We are only unaware in any immediate sense, of its existence. Past, present and future are all the same now. We compartmentalize and establish context by our own immediate perceptions. We do this because we are limited, having a beginning and an end, and this is how we perceive the world, through this narrow aperture.”

The music I hear at home is not the music that I hear at work, though it may be the same songs by the same groups.

There are multitudes within a single work.

I love Coming Attractions! But this is a bit lean….

I understand.

And twice I’ve posted an additional Comment that has vanished each time!

I’ll risk a third try (maybe later I’ll find all three here, but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do).

TO WIT:

Hey! Is some entity toying with us here?

It’s here.

It’s gone but “coming soon.”

It’s here again.

This is hyper-lame!

I have been forced to hear horrible earworms repeated over and over at work when people had radios on.

Songs like Tie a Yellow Ribbon and Rainy Night in Georgia put me in a suicidal depression.

For whatever reason, GC has jumped onto a Möbius strip of time. Or maybe they just forced Frog Applause onto one.

You don’t want worlds to collide. However, one might nudge the other… in an appropriate way of course.
