The Great Zipper Debate

 Two people confidently strut into a room, carrying differing opinions on a certain topic.  They are Mr. X and Mr. Y, and both are making their case for and against zippers on jackets.

Mr. X makes his case for zippers, claiming that they make it easier to tie up jackets.  “Nobody should have to deal with buttons that can get lost”, he proclaims.

Mr. Y counter-argues that zippers can get easily jammed, and are therefore undesirable.  “What about the people who have had to suffer through stuck zippers?  Do their lives not matter?”

Mr. X accuses Mr. Y of hypocrisy, displaying a picture of him in coat with a zipper.  Mr. Y contends the photo is doctored.  The debate devolves into madness, ultimately culminating in a brawl between the debaters.

So, whose side are you on?  Mr. X or Mr. Y?

As the film begins, the four old ladies are watching Brady and the Patriots play the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game.  There is once noticeable problem:  The game (in real life) t...

Birth of a Hero

The music generates a feeling of limitless strength, unabashed inspiration.  The tense strings, pounding of the drums, and bold confident ambience conjure up the image from a pivotal scene in a movie, where the hero is making his charge, or the football coach is giving an impassioned speech at halftime of the big game.  The song gives the listener a slap on the back and tells them, “Go get ‘em.”  That’s what an inspiring article of music is supposed to do.
