Is it just me?

I began to weep spontaneously a few years ago when I heard The Youngbloods 'Get Together' after not hearing it for many years. It was on my son's low-fi radio. Nothing to do with the gear, just circumstance.

The answer has to be in our neurology.

I think you need some dianetic auditing to permit your true Theta-personself to emerge. This could take years and be costly to fix. How much money do you make again?

What's sad is that many people buy into this, sometimes into the 6-figure range.

While I don't recommend enriching the estate of L Ron Hubbard, taking a good Psych 101 or Intro to Behaviorism course at the college or CC level might provide some insights. Disclosure: I'm an Experimental Psychologist by trade.

Quasi-formally, Antecedent Vars (essentially your mood and physical state at the time; i.e., what you "bring to the party") AND the Independent Var (here the auditory/musical stimulus) AND Interdicting Vars (auditory distortions AND other external/internal distractors) Yields a Dependent Measure (How you emotionally "feel"). Changes in the any of the Antecedent/Independent/Interdicting Vars will affect the resulting Dependent Measure response.

Again, you might enjoy an Intro Psych, Behavioral Psych, or Psychology of Music course.

I, having multiple personalities, would have to concur with Dr. Courant's diagnosis.

I know my Billy Idol and Alice Cooper personalities never enjoy any of my clasical music as much as Johann, Ludwig and that goofy Tim do.

Just my 10 cents worth (2 cents from each personality),
Tim, Johann, Alice, Billy and Alice
