The Addled brain (Apathy, aka attention deficit disorder)

I have been away, disgruntled with the lack of communication on this blog. It is disheartening, to say the least. But Farcebook, its apparent opposition, beckons.

It's like dinosaurs and the process of natural selection and extinction, the way I figure it. Cogent thought isn't disappearing, but the ability to express it is.

Anything longer than a few minutes is verboten. Even the shallow advertising industry knows that; its ads are 15 seconds, generally, reduced from 30. PLEASE: Read this.

You will NOT turn to stone or perish. Farcebook won't go away. Comments you haven't read yet will still be there.

Attention Span? WHO NEEDS IT?

I can't even remember what this is. Something drew my attention away. Just watch it.

  1. I have to say I like the Budweiser video Chris... if only for the great acting. And I guess we know who Budweiser's market is: young men sitting on the couch hauling back the cold ones.

    Re the Guess Who: I never really liked Laughing. Lots of other stuff by them: All of So Long Bannatyne, along with the album that has "Sour Suite" on it, Wheatfield Soul, and Share the Land.

    1. I assume that's you Doug, though you didn't say so. Try this: these are 2 of my Guess Who favorites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuc7isWmHYo

Be critical. Disagree, if you want. But don't be abusive.
