Nothing creeps me out more than a guitar mass...don't keep reminding me. My mind just immediately turns to Charles Manson and bellbottoms. "This is to where we head. As every area of public and private life gets infected with deviancy, it affects our thoughts and behavior. What we perceive as common becomes what we are willing to accept, if only out of tired resignation."

In the movie, DAWN OF THE DEAD, the characters while flying above the zombies in a helicopter, observing the zombies on the ground, one says "It's everywhere." I see that and ultimately, I wonder, are we all in permanent 'fight or flight' mode now? Burning out our adrenaline 24 hours a day? Exhaustion creeps up on a daily basis. People go to mass on sunday, expecting at the very least a reminder of some divine mysticism, and then comes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJriUlvhJxM&ab_channel=ChurchMusic ... "Run, it's The Carpenters again!" Alright everybody hold hands and pass the bong.

That horrible feeling comes, like you've just walked in on a hippie cult from 1975. Who digs that weirdness, I ask? Who?
