Hearing is believing

When I found out that this weeks reading was going to be another audio clip I really didn't know how to take it. Not that I hate audio clips but I would much rather read something than listen to it. When you read something you can go back and reread if something doesn't make sense but with audio it is much more of a hassle to go back and find the spot where you were having trouble. I did like this clip a lot though, it had ideas that I had not really thought all that much about. I thought it was sort of interesting how an instrumental song could get banned. The fact that the music was powerful enough to convey a message without even having to say anything is a real testament to its writer. I never really thought of the music as having that sort of power over someones emotions that's really pretty cool if you sit and think about it. I also like the idea of radio having capabilities that the T.V really could never have. There are so many things that could be imagined that could never be acted out or put on T.V but just by using certain sounds you can get people to imagine. I really liked the music choices though, I thought they were all really good. I especially liked the use of the Ramones and Chuck Berry songs its good that there still appreciated after all these years. All in all I thought there was a lot to learn in the audio essay.
