Seven Easy Questions
In the Saturday Star Trib there was an article about an event called The Great American Think-Off that started in New York Mills, Minnesota. To illustrate the point that they were wrestling with "big questions" the Strib created a colorful graphic with the questions below. In the interest of saving everyone some time I have answered these questions. It took me about two minutes. In the interest of clarity, I have added appropriate capitalization and corrected syntax where the Strib had tortured it.
Q: Has anyone ever had a better run of four albums than Joni Mitchell's Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, For the Roses, and Court and Spark?
A: No.
Okay, that one I just put in myself because I've been listening to those. I challenge anyone to disagree. Please put your candidate for superior four album run in the comment section. Now to the Strib:
Q: Does God exist?
A: Yes.
Q: Does life have meaning?
A: Yes.
Q: Is the nature of humankind good or evil?
A: Evil.
Q: Is the pen mightier than the sword?
A: No.
Q: Should assisted suicide be legal?
A: Yes.
Q: Head or heart: which should you trust more?
A: Head.
And done. Whew! You're welcome.

Well thanks. Actually I agree with all except I don't think the nature of humankind is either good or evil. But oops, didn't mean to take time to discuss it.
ReplyDeleteHad the Basement Tapes been released when they were first recorded, you could have had The Basement Tapes, Music From Big Pink, The Band (aka the Brown Album) and Stage Fright, which would have proved a very competitive quartet indeed. Their official fourth album, Cahoots, had their best cover, from a design and art perspective, but was weak sauce song-wise compared to the first three.
