Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Car Music?
When yer driving, what do you listen to? We loathe the radio, too many annoying ads.. DH burned a whole bunch of CDs and today were listening to Cajun music, the soundtrack from The movie 'The Big Easy'...I loved it:) I was getting sick of the B-52's. I ALWAYS carry a teakwood Kazoo I got about 10 years ago around with me. Everybody should have a Kazoo. In 2000 I sent plastic kazoos to people on my Floyd group, and when I send things, I throw in some shiny confetti. One guy in Holland said he was still 'Hoovering' confetti out of the carpet 7 years later. LOL. It's not pixie-dust, just the small confetti. A Kazoo is fun and anybody can 'play' it. Kids toy? HA!!

It's just background noise to me. Lots of times I don't bother with anything at all. Sometimes I listen to CD's.

Kyla --from nearby Seattle > I would imagine driving while playing a Kazoo is as dangerous, if not > moreso, than driving while yakking on a cell phone! LOL Well, I think you're imagining wrong. "Playing" a kazoo isn't much different from humming. You're just doing it through a piece of plastic (or wood, in Kyla's case - oooo, fancy! :)), which distorts the sound. And they can be fun - a few members of my choral group and I got hold of some kazoos, and proceeded to go through quite a few numbers in our repertoire before we got sick of ourselves. :). But there's not much to take your attention away from driving. I definitely vote for the kazoo player over the cellphone chatter on the road!

My car radio broke and I have other monetary priorities, so I use my portable CD player to listen to music, along with headphones.

We have pre-paid cell phones we use only in emergencies or when we go to the store, if we get separated, I can call him and go to the aisle he's on. Gah! I have to have my Identity card renewed as it expires next month on my bithrday. They won't give me a DL, but I have a picture ID. One year, a long time ago, when they took my piccy, I asked the guy if I could take off my glasses and cross my eyes for the pix, and he said, 'I don't give a damn,lady, it's 'your' license, so I did. It was really funny too. If someone asked me for my DL, I'd show them that pic, they'd look at me, I'd remove my glasses, and cross my eyes. LOL. I don't have it any more tho...it got lost somewhere. Hug Kyla we usually listen to Contemporary Christian music,but sometimes i like to listen to 50's,60's, & 70's music. i like Yanni too. > When yer driving, what do you listen to? > We loathe the radio, too many annoying ads..

There's PLENTY of > great Christian music (two millennium's worth), but the sort dubbed > "contemporary" is pure crap - neither "music", nor particularly > "Christian" in its text. I really disagree! Just because it doesn't follow traditional forms, doesn't mean it's not Christian. They're singing about Jesus and God - what's un-Christian about that? You might not like the music, and I certainly can't argue with another person's preference, but I definitely consider it to be religious music. I was just reading an article about CCM, written by an agnostic who was raised Jewish - so about as far from Christian as one usually gets in the US. And she was saying that she really enjoyed that music because it's the only place where you can hear sincere explorations of what life is about - faith, doubt, hope, love, etc. For a person who likes pop and rock music, it's hard to find that most of the time - the message of a lot of popular music these days is pretty bleak. I can really understand wanting something more than that, but, if you're not able to relate to more traditional liturgical music, you might look to popular musical forms instead. And what's wrong with that? You might not like it yourself, but there's no reason to be so rigid about what's "real music".

Granted, some of it probably is. Like many people, I often tend to generalize. (And, as I'll explain further on, I have a reason for regarding the term "Christian" with a somewhat jaundiced attitude, right now.) > I was just reading an article about CCM, written by an agnostic who > was raised Jewish - so about as far from Christian as one usually gets [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > And what's wrong with that? You might not like it yourself, but there's > no reason to be so rigid about what's "real music". Indeed, you make a valid point, and I must admit my current frame of mind has more to do with a situation in my personal life than my really being anti-Christian (or anti-contemporary Christian music). Perhaps I judge too harshly, but I'm more than a little ticked off right now at those of the "evangelical" persuasions, even though I realize (intellectually) that not ALL of them are hypocrites. My deceased sister-in-law was managing some midwestern bank accounts for me. After the passage of the "Patriot Act" the banks required her to sign on those accounts as "joint owner", rather than as my "power of attorney". (But I've always been listed as the primary account holder, received the 1099INT and paid taxes on the interest income). I had no problem with that, because I trusted her, and she'd always been scrupulously honest with me. Then somehow, when the sister-in-law was dying (and without my being notified), her daughter (who professes to be such an upstanding Christian) managed to get HER name added to those accounts. Two weeks ago, I discovered the daughter (again without my being notified) has withdrawn the full balance of the accounts in cashier's checks payable to her! That's nearly $55,000 of my money, representing nearly half of the assets I'd counted on to pay for "assisted living" and medical care, after my fixed "retirement income" can no longer stretch. She has of course ignored all my attempts at communication, and unless I can prove her name was fraudulently added to the accounts, I'm not sure I can bring criminal charges to recover my money! (I've been in contact with the local police and District Attorney's office there, but of course they have to run their own investigations, and may not be able to do anything.) I realize I shouldn't brand ALL Christians because of her, but it's hard not to, when I see my future security so badly compromised, due to her blatant theft of my money. Actually, her mother was as good a Christian as anyone could ask, one who LIVED her faith, rather than use it as an excuse for un-Christian behaviour. (She'd be turning in her grave if she knew what her daughter has done!) So forgive me if I come on too strong on the subject of Christian music - my response really didn't have much to do with music at all. Usually I'd be the first to defend your right to listen to any kind of music you like (just so long as I don't have to)! > My deceased sister-in-law was managing some midwestern bank accounts for > me.

That's *horrible*. I can't think of anything worse than robbing someone who will probably never be able to get on their feet afterward. By the time you need that money, you will most likely not be able to work to recover it. (Not to imply that it's OK to rob a working person, but at least they have a chance to get through it.) I'm so sorry this happened to you. But yes, people of all faiths (or lack thereof) are capable of doing all sorts of horrible things. As for me, I have a much bigger problem with the political affiliations of some Christian groups, some of whom are, in fact, connected to the CCM industry. (And it is an industry!) I don't need to go into the details here, since pretty much anything I have to say about that is very likely completely predictable to most of you. :) One thing the article I mentioned earlier pointed out is that even modern Christian music is pretty varied musically. The type of CCM I know best has a kind of folk-rock style, and is very nicely arranged and produced. Since I used to like folk-rock, I like this music, too. There's also hip-hop and rap Christian music, as well as metal, but I haven't heard any of that. > So forgive me if I come on too strong on the subject of Christian music > - my response really didn't have much to do with music at all.

Again, not sure where "mid-western" begins and ends - not to mention where your bank accounts and/or these culprits live....but frankly for that kinda $$$ I'd take a little trip to the city where you contacted the law enforcement and make myself at home in their precinct HQ till some action on your behalf came into being. Even better if you could hire an attorney in that city to cook up a civil case for you to file. When the locals get drive-by offed in MileHigh here, there is usually a civil suit against the perps filed after the cops apprehend them and they're safely in the slammer. Surprising how many perps have $$$ here for civil suit "wronged survivors" to have awarded. Why not you? > On Mar 6, 2:46 pm, bastXXXe...@sonic.net wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > they're safely in the slammer. Surprising how many perps have $$$ > here for civil suit "wronged survivors" to have awarded. Why not you? Well, I've been in touch with the law enforcement people back there - thing is, they have to subpoena the bank records, they can't just take my word for it - and of course, upsetting as it is to me, I'm sure they have more serious crimes that have priority. They told me that they'll do what they can, but I might have to file a civil suit. However, the police and district attorney are paid by the city - civil suits mean attorney's fees. I certainly have ample proof the accounts were mine to begin with, it just depends upon how much responsibility falls on my niece for preventing the banks from keeping me informed. I'd love to see her thrown in jail, but this IS America, and we DO have a Constitution (however much our current president may consider himself above it), so it's a matter of what can legally be done in criminal court. > My deceased sister-in-law was managing some midwestern bank accounts for > me.

Sorry for this EVG, that is truly ate up. I hope that the niece gets caught and nailed for her fraud. Better yet, I hope someone upstairs lets her know that a Christian is as a Christian does. The Sunday Hypocrite Christians are why I don't believe in their posturing. They need to read their bible and do some major re-thinking about their true beliefs. Pam S.

Altho I'm a BAC, I don't attend any church, I 'worship' in my heart. And I know I'm not perfect, and that God is still working on me.

HUG Kyla --and snoozing Clowder I have no idea who started to this thread, so I am just replying to the subject line. What do I listen to in the car? Well, if I am *commuting* (ie, to work and back) I tend tolisten to Radio National - a 'talking' channel where people discuss variosu aspects of life. tehre's the Science Show, or the Religion report or Life Matters or The Sports Factor - and of coruse, there's a good coverage of Australian and International news. There's a little bit of people ringing in to discuss their views, but its not your 'classic' "talk back" radio station. Here's a link to Radio national (it can be podcast or downloaded if you wish) http:///www.abc.net.au/rn A few years ago, one of my e-mails mentioning RPCA was read out. The 'article' was about on-line communities and how they are still not 'as good' as Real Life communities and one example they gave was that in a cyber-community, you can't just do a casserole for someone who might otherwise need it in their hour of grief (for example). And I said "yes you can!" and pointed out that it involves some creatinve thinking, but you *can* get all the fixin's of a casserole to someone half way across the world with the help of the rest of the cybercommunity (same as arranging transport for cats across the country, or payingvet bills or whatever). As for other driving, Joel & I have a large coolection of CD's and play them when we go on our drives. They range from heavy metal and 'death rap' through my 80's pop music to classic rock, folk, blues, motown, clasical music and even some Gregorian chants. It really really depends on our moods. We also listen to the soundtrack of Toy Story, Toy Story 2 and/or Spongebob Squarepants, as Cary is watching it on the portable DVD player in the back. I think i could probably quite the whole script of both Toy Stories off by heart. :-) Yowie Anyone who says you can't get food in cyberspace is nuts.

Bach, Franck, Widor, Vierne, Duruflé, etc., etc., with a weakness for French 19th century instruments (what a wonderful roar they produce!) Ralph Vaughan Williams Sometimes hymns, well-played and well-sung--but for my hymns are really participatory--there's nothing for me quite like leading with my playing an exuberantly-singing congregation. I'm an organist, so I'm biased towards really great classics.

With all due respect, contemporary Christian music is both music, and "Christian". I agree that, with a small minority of what I hear, sometimes you can't tell whether they're professing love to Jesus or their girlfriend, but that's certainly not the case of the vast majority. I even went through a phase listening to Christian heavy metal, which by definition, is also both music, and Christian. Sherry I like 80's music as well.

No way can I listen to 'audio books' when I'm driving. My inner eye creates a vivid picture of whatever is going on in the story, and I find myself so busy concentrating on my imaginary visuals that I lose track of what my *actual* eyes are seeing. *Not* good when driving. I even have to be careful not to think in pictures, I am that bad.

KBAQ, here (cursing them roundly if they're holding one of their too frequent fund drives). KUSC and KMZT when I lived in L.A. - although I understand KMZT has stopped playing classical, dammit! (After they changed the call letters to "K-Mozart", too!) That's a predictable outcome of mega-corporations owning all the media - it's not only the news that is censored by the owners, the public no longer has much of a voice in how much "free speech" and "free expression" we are allowed.

But when I'm in a traffic jam, or life gets really stressful, I have to put on Ray Stevens, Jim Stafford or Weird Al Yankovic (sorry Al I rarely spell that right) Who can be mean and stressed with "My Bologna" blaring out the speakers? I found out that he has his own videos on YouTube.com. Just look him up. Pam S who still is partial to "You Don't Love Me Any More."

Everybody should have a Kazoo. I often play my electronic bagpipes when I'm on public transport. (http://www.campin.me.uk/Music/DegerPipe/). But it needs two hands. But you have a given me an idea.
