I spend a lot of time in a health club trying to keep my heart from attacking me. So far it is working but it’s not easy. As I always say...
Staying Healthy Is Enough To Kill You
Today there is a new threat to my health from inside my Health Club. It is the Rock Music that the owners of the facility must think is an essential element of staying healthy because it is always there, it is always loud and it is always awful.
The other day in the midst of this musical assault, as my head was about to explode, I got a brainstorm about how I am going to spend my declining years ... I Am Going to Write Rock Music.
Why am I going to undertake such a difficult task, you ask? That’s just my point. It Is Not A Difficult Task. It is actually going to be one of the easiest things I have ever done...
- First I write five or six words of the lyrics like, “Ohhh baby you got great teeth”.
- Then I write about seven musical notes to sing the lyrics to.
- Then for two minutes the song repeats my five or six words in tune with my about seven musical notes ... Over and Over and Over and Over.
There you have it. Another modern-day Smash Hit Rock Tune that is sure to be a big money maker.
I did leave out one thing. Actually it is the most important thing ... My rocking tune is sung VERY LOUD! In the world of Rock Music, LOUD is more important than the Five or Six Words or the Seven Musical Notes or the Over and Over.
One thing I will make sure I will not do. I will not make the sound as loud as a TV Commercial. That would be Beyond the Pale (whatever that is).
As Ed McMahon used to say to Johnny Carson, “How bad is it?” I’ll tell you how bad it is. I told the manager of my health club that, if I die and go to heaven and they announce upon my arrival that they will be playing loud rock music for all eternity, I am going to ask for a transfer.
Would I kid u?
