It happened again tonight

• "Completely innocent and unrelated question, have you ever observed electroshocks?"

Actually, yes I have, but only in films. But on a personal note, my step-father was treated for severe depression at the old Camarillo State Hospital with the use of electroshock treatments. When he was released, he didn’t recall the names or even recognize long term friends. Evidently, electroshock therapy has the effect of a prefrontal lobotomy, erasing the memory area of the brain. The effect was temporary, as he eventually regained his memory over time. It took years before he fully recovered and became a full person again. He was still an ass though, so other than a spiritual awakening, I guess there’s no cure for that malady.

^^^ Ya had to know the guy. :-)

Apple and tree.

Frank,

There have been so many times that I have suggested to audiophile friends that an audio system is a time machine. We can be transported back to our teen years in an instant, and have those artists we loved so much, perform right there in front of us.  

Yes, but it's a "time machine" also in a different way.
Spinning the Rush vinyl re-issues (stunning) on my high end systems transforms the experience beyond what it was even in my teens.  It brings the moment "alive" in a way it never quite was listening in my teens.  The scale, soundstaging, clarity, the sense of peering in to the real space, the dynamics and clarity of the musicians playing, it's closer to being transported to the live event itself, vs to my teenage memories of listening to the record.
