Re: What do you make music for? 🎹 🎶 🎸

That's a very strange thing to say. I eat because I love eating. In fact, I reckon most of my self-discipline goes into not eating more than I should.

I prefer the liquid diet of Vampires. Anyhow, yes you love to eat because of all the delicious chemicals that makes eating fun plus there's no hunting involved etc etc but that's icing on the cake. You eat because if you don't, that equals punishment. Fear of suffering hunger.

We are all worthless, I'd have thought that was blindingly obvious.

A battery that fails to work is worthless. A battery that works has it's uses. Once the battery depletes, you move on to the next useful battery.

The Queen of England died last year and it made not one blind bit of difference to anything

.
It made a huge financial difference to the funeral home that sold the coffin.

Trump out, Biden in - no difference.

Research history and you will find that whenever a Republican president was in the White House, some sht always hit the fan.
Nixon - watetgate scandal
Reagan - Cold war threat and the Iran Contra affair
George Bush - Gulf War
George w. Bush - 911
Trump - build a wall on the border of Mexico and Covid. Yes the latter is a worldwide affair but it happened during a Republican run. Its all the Republicans fault.
Bill Clinton (democrat) - play saxophone, jog and have fun with interns. See the difference?

Utter rubbish

Great band name.

My OCD compels me to hang my washing on the line in very definite patterns. It's not a compulsion born of fear, but of a baseless desire for order.

And you would suffer to some degree if there was no order which understandably you wouldn't want to experience (fear at a particular level), therefore, you "have to" make the definite patterns.

Or perhaps you have put a bet on it, so you have to watch it to see if you win?

Of course! I "have to" watch because otherwise I'll get antsy. Fear of feeling antsy.
.

So out of a sense of obligation to others, I feel compelled to spend time with other people when I'd rather be on my own. It's not driven by fear but by compassion and empathy

.
For every Yang there's it's equivalent Yin. You feel compelled because otherwise you would suffer the guilt of not supporting a friend. You "have to" go to the game otherwise that demonic guilt will nag. Fear of feeling guilt.

I don't think that's how addictive personalities work at all

.
Ok. Bravo.

On a much bigger scale, Noel Gallagher said it best:
"You're just going to have to believe me when I tell you there's no feeling that can compare to having a stadium full of people responding to you."
Not verbatim but close enough.

That's a very self-centred view. For me it wouldn't be about responding to me but responding to what I/we have created. i.e. I would get the same kick out of seeing those people respond to a DJ playing my song as I would from performing it myself.

He didn't say it in a cocky way as if it were about him. What do you suppose the people are responding to at an Oasis show if not the music Noel has written? If he asks a stadium full of fans to clap their hands and they follow suit it's not because he can bake delicious cookies.
