Source of BOREDOM?
lewis
My roommate and I were just discussing the possible sources of boredom. I
only know what it's like for the two of us, but we believe that others
experience the same lack of satisfaction in everyday activities. In other
words --- we're bored far too often.
Could the source of boredom be from society's rising expectations
and limited means to achieve them? Could it be that television creates a
sort of societal utopia in our minds, leaving us dissatisfied with our
non-tv lives? As the greatest admirer of capitalism, I shudder to think
that capitalism itself may be the source. Perhaps capitalism creates a
drive in all of us; always searching for bigger and better things?
What are your theories?

Ever wonder how our ancestors had so few opportunities for
entertainment, but still never seemed to be bored? I think the answer is
OBVIOUS...it's the result of a $ECRET government GERM WARFARE program gone
AMOK! Boredom is a DISEASE, which has leaked into our water supply
and has CONTAMINATED our precious bodily fluids. Most of the American
population has been AFFLICTED with it for a few decades now.
Occasionally you will encounter people you find FAR more boring than
most. They are INFECTED with MUTANT strains of the disease, and have
turned into ENERGY VAMPIRES, sucking away your VITALITY.
UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this
IMPORTANT information is ENCOURAGED.

I remember being told as a kid that "boredom" came
from a lack of, or failure to utilise, imagination.
As a kid the response was typical.

Stuart Copeland. I have not read it only for the reason that it is

I was driving home from work the other day, taking an odd route that I had
never taken before. It turns out I picked the *wrong* route, because I
ended up stick in some bumper-to-bumper linear parking lot. While I was
sitting there in my car inching along, I happened to notice an elderly
couple standing in their fron lawn.
The front door to their house was wide open and they were both just standing
there in the front lawn WATCHING THE CARS CREEP BY. Both of them had these
loopy grins on their faces, reveling in the moment.
I've taken that route home a few times since then and they've been there
watching each time.
Can you imagine finding entertainment in watching slow traffic?

No, no, no; the drummer for Led Zeppelin was Aaron Copland.
The guitar solo in their arrangement of "Appalachian Spring"

What's the point value when the trolled guy realizes mid-post that he's
been trolled but he posts anyway? It's almost a definition troll of
targeting a guy hitting "F" without reading the entire post. Not only
does he not abort the post, he doesn't even delete the proof that he was
initially fooled. Not that his response to the realization is worth saving;
it's pretty much "Yeah, you fooled me. Well...screw you!!!"

No, Moon was the drummer for Pete Townshend's band (Them, which
also had a young Jim Morrison) before Pete went solo. And the drummer who
lost his arm was in Metallica. But it's true that Moon proposed the name
"Metallica" so he did have some connection to the group.

And I always thought that Stuart Copeland was actually in Yes at some
point, at around the same time Steve Howe left to pitch for the
Dodgers. Then that album 90210 came out.

I would get a big kick if you even once tried to post an example of something

Aaron Spelling is the producer Melrose Place and 90210.
Aaron Copland is a 20-century American composer.

You're completely right, Eric, he did. Unless he accidentally misspelled
PIL, and those are two bands, along with BAD, that we sadly neglected in
our three-letter acronyms thread. I suppose we could include SGT, but
I've never seen them abbreviated like that; it doesn't sound right, anyway.
I never see Babes In Toyland abbreviated, either. What makes some bands
acronymizable, and not others?
Personally, I'm glad NIN reunited after their recent break-up. Now if
only they could come out with a cd package that fits in my cd case.
ObNovelty: "Hindu Love Gods," featuring the back three of REM fronted by
Warren Zevon, doing some rocking covers of blues standbys. Puts Prince's
"Raspberry Beret" to shame.

No, no, that's Amos Fields. After the divorce, his wife opened up a
competing chain affiliated with Neem & Marcus, which would charge
two-fifty for recipes.
Lee Rubinoff
Did I make the mistake of naming Stewart Copeland as being the author
of Generation X. I did not mean that, In fact, what I was trying to
say was that Douglas Stewart was the author of Generation X. He also
wrote another book after that, and again after that. I think he just
wrote a religious book named "The life of God." I hear it is really
good. Has anyone else read it?

You are all mis-informed. The author of Generation X is Douglas
Coupland. However, I recommend another book, "13th Gen" by Bill
Strauss and Neil Howe. Coupland's book in story-form, while !3th
Gen is an essay. The format is very interesting to see.

Hoe Down hosts 20-20 with Babarbra Walters.
And how can a modern composer compose classical music? Classical music
was composed in the 1800's.

Wrong-o silly boy, Hoe Down was a tune he wrote in collaboration with
the famous movie composer, Gustav Mahler in the 1960's.
>And how can a modern composer compose classical music? Classical music
>was composed in the 1800's.
Easy, he lived for a very long time. He is the only person to have
Billboard hits in both the 19th and 20th centuries. Actually, I don't
know why people keep talking about him in the past tense; he is still
alive and well living in Cleveland. If you don't believe me just look
in the Cleveland phone book!
I hear that Copeland and the famous centenarian comedian Robert Burns
next month are going to host a special one hour presentation on
entertainment over the pass 80 years.

finally someone who knows something about a very interesting topic.
have you also read the Strauss/Howe book called "Generations" i haven't,
so i was wondering if you knew anythign about it. Also, I saw two other
books on the subject, one called the "Gen X Reader" or somesort, which was
a compilation of all sorts of writings about the subject, and another book
written BY a twentysomething, except I can't remember the author or the
title, except that the word "twentysomething" is in it. ANy ideas?

No. John Bonham's dad, Jason, was the drummer for Zeppelin. John did
make a guest appearance drumming for Zep in the movie "Physical
Graffiti." After Jason died, John became the drummer for Jimmie Page's
band, "The Term."
