| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 160 Posts: 5507 | We can put a man on the moon, create AI, almost conquer cold fusion ... but we cannot figure out how to modify the behavior of convicted felons? That says little for the power of Psychology Today. I am reminded of that scene in "A Clockwork Orange" where Malcolm McDowell, a bad guy and in custody, is strapped to a chair with his eyes propped wide open and forced to watch scenes of violence while a medication administered to him makes him ill. Classic behavior modification therapy: why can't it (or more likely a derivation of it) work in the real world? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4woPg0-xyAA |

But in that movie in shades of today politically correct world they weren't allowed to do that to him. The authorities had to undo his conversion. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

You're just getting old terapined. Not sure how long rap & hip hop is part of main stream music, but it is likely to keep influencing newer music. It dates back to the 1970s so it's been around for quite awhile. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 160 Posts: 5507 | Many years ago (1979-80) while listening to KBOO FM late at night I heard what to me was a new form of music, something unique: I listened to Jocko's LP "Rhythm Talk." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neBZ_M2h0lA I was intrigued enough to go to a black owned music store to buy the LP: pretty whimsical. Jocko put this out the same year The Sugarhill Gang put out "Rapper's Delight." |

| RonC Member since: Nov 7, 2012 Threads: 9 Posts: 2582 | The Super Bowl halftime show played very well to people do a certain age. My son loved it; he would have rather have had the show continue than see the rest of the Super Bowl. In the 30-50 year old folks I know, it played very well. Older, not so much. That kind of fits a key demographic of my very unscientific observations play out across the viewership. No matter who they have as entertainment, not everyone will be happy. I did like 50’s entrance… |
