“Silence is a collective abbreviation for a whole array of musical absences: the absence of sound, sounds never made, the absence of those who should have made them, sounds too quiet to be heard, sounds delayed or postponed indefinitely. Silence is the opposite of music, but it is also its lifeblood -- the breaths between the phrases, the drama, the anticipation, and the quality of the breathless hush between final note and applause. Music embraces calm silences, pregnant silences, animated or aggressive silences. Musical silence can be temporal, gestural, or spatial. In some cases, such as John Cage's famously curated silence, '4 Minutes 33 Seconds,' silence even -becomes- music. Without sound there cannot be silence, and vice versa.”

“I'm sure you're thinking, "Is she honestly trying to claim she was indoctrinated into the patriarchy due to JC (son of God) and JC (Chasez) being in cahoots to love-bomb us via Scripture and/or song, causing us to believe these unrealistic highly respectful wholesome men need to save us, thus grooming us to be deferential and 'save' ourselves for them?" Yes, yes, I am. I'm not sure it's working, but these are the things I think about in my spare time. Is this conspiracy more or less believable than blue balls? I digress.”
