Hearing is Believing
So when Phil was telling us that we had to listen to a audio essay, I was instantly not interested. I have never listened to a audio essay before, so I expected it to be super boring and dull. So I started listening to this essay and I was intrigued by the music. The first couple of times I listened to it though I had to replay the Chuck Berry clip over and over, it was very distracting. Anyways after listening to it about five or six times i got the message. When he makes the point "its not what you say sometimes, its how you say it." I instantly thought about how people analyze the way you say some things. Well what I am trying to get to is that you can always tell when someone is sad or mad. You can tell there emotions through the way they talk. I was also interested about the song from the fifties that was band. I had no idea that they even did that in the fifties. I mean now on radio or television the border for censorship is very vague. This song from the fifties does not even have any lyrics. I mean how can you ban a song with no lyrics, it does not say anything. I mean it definitely sounds like a dirty song, but how can you judge that. Anyways I absolutely loved this audio essay. I had no idea what was going to happen, but i was hooked right when i started to listen. This was one of the better assignments that i have had to do in a while.

Glad you liked the essay, Mike.

I was arguing that it WAS saying something - even if it wasn't explicitly verbal. The censorship line is indeed a bit vague, though...
