Theories, Thoughts, and Half-Baked Ideas
b'One of the byproducts of doing a show like this for as long as I\\u2019ve been doing it is that it\\u2019s really hard to shut off your brain\\u2026\\n\\nI\\u2019m always thinking about topic ideas, ways to link facts and trivia together, reading lots of books, talking to lots of people, and otherwise trying to come up with a constant stream of things we can talk about\\u2026\\n\\nThe result of all this researching and thinking and writing are some ideas and perspectives on music, music history, how music is made, how it\\u2019s consumed and distributed, and how seemingly small things have led to big changes\\u2026that\\u2019s one thing\\u2026\\n\\nAnother is the opinions formed by observing the opinions of others\\u2026why do people like some things and hate others?...and another is a list of ideas that aren\\u2019t quite fully formed\\u2026it seems like I\\u2019ve almost grasped a concept but it doesn\\u2019t feel right yet\\u2014but I feel that there\\u2019s a germ of truth in there somewhere\\u2026\\n\\nI\\u2019ve also learned that when you\\u2019re not sure about something, source the crowd\\u2026you might like the answers, but it\\u2019s better than living in your own head\\u2026\\n\\nSo lemme bounce a few of these things off you and you can tell me if I\\u2019m onto something or if I\\u2019m off-base\\u2014or if I\\u2019ve completely lost the plot\\u2026\\n\\nI call this episode \\u201ctheories, thoughts, and half-baked ideas\\u201d\\u2026\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
