Don't Touch That "Repeat" Button!

All I can say is, God bless the man who invented the "repeat" button.  I love that little gizmo...no, not this one.

  I mean the little button on stereos and ipods which gives the command to play a particular song or album in a loop--that one.  You see, I rely upon this highly likable little feature to help me with my creative thought process.  Usually, while working on some project, I play music--a suitable song--which helps to shape my thoughts. This also inspires me and simply makes me feel good to listen to a favored song over and over again.  I once wrote "response" lyrics while listening to a song for two days straight--a song whose lyrics entirely inspired and provoked me.  But that's another story (more about that in a future post).  And usually the "repeat" button or continuous play or replay button works for me on devices.  The result? Harmony.

 Now, take this process of a continuous loop, apply it to your favorite songs and it all works out fine.  But you would not want to apply it to certain other things--things for example like, bad driving directions (My late dad did that.  Normally a good NYC driver, he got lost once on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.  Kept trying the same bad driving directions, ended up getting on and off--on and off--the expressway, passing the same spots three times.  It was hysterical, however and provided a good laugh for us all, including my dad.)  You would not want to apply the continuous loop process to try to mend failed relationships that are obviously doomed to experience even more failures.  And when it comes to government shutdowns, this is one where the "repeat" button should not be pressed. While you're at it, don't touch that "shuffle" button either! 

We can all at least listen to the same tune whether we like it or not...let some angry hothead come along and smash up the entire stereo system, and we'll all soon be bellowing choruses of "The Freaking Party's Really Over"--a capella!


(Here's the kind of "repeat" I can live with.  This website will loop your YouTube videos and it's easy to use. No smashed stereo systems! '-)  http://www.yourepeat.com/ )
