No offense to the reply, but “need a therapist” is a very American response and a bit of a cop out. OP, I’ve seen many people turn around after aged 40, including a friend who got married for the first time at aged 58. She’s energetic and a

Intellectuals will go to different sources, among them including international sources as the US books industry is especially US-centric. In the US, one source for intellectuals is the New York Review of Books (not to be confused with the N

On Apple Music, I believe I need to be in Album View in order to drag the currently playing music’s timeline. Depending on the path I took to get the music playing, Album View may not be visible or simple to get to. If there’s another place

Spotify iOS automatically plays as soon as the app is started. At least, it does when connected to bluetooth. No way to disable. That was reason enough for me to delete Spotify. I use Apple Music which is marginally better but not great for

It’s a poor term but one that simply refers to observable differences. It is unfortunate that there may be bigory or judgements accorded. I am inclined to suppose that those people are in the minority.

‘Rich’ is a relative term but my family might qualify as ‘old rich’ and do tend to distinguish from ‘new rich’. The terms are misnomers. People who might be labelled ‘new rich’ or ‘nouveau riche’ do not have the qualities of tastes, behavio

Why are postings to that Internet that are labelled essentially as ‘news articles’ taken more seriously and with less scrutiny than an average Reddit post? Unlike many ‘news articles’ emanating from the likes of CNN, this one is attributed

My favourite radio ever is AM 740 in the Boston area— WJIB, a listener-supported station broadcasting hits from the late 30s to 70s easy listening. Where else in broadcast these days can one expect to listen to the Dorsey Brothers, Glenn Mi

Rick is making that claim in a similar manner to how adult language learners may never develop a perfect local accent. There is truth to that, but it is not an absolute. I emphasise that the common belief echoed here in this discussion perp

Perfect pitch can most definitely be learned. The parent comment echos a common belief that mentally prevents people from distinguishing key signatures (even under equal temperament), which not insignificantly has a knock-on effect in music

I once had a job developing strategy for one of the top business schools in the world in its revenue center. In this best-of-the best setting, there was little incompetence but lots of mediocrity. At university administrations, as you drift

I’m sure he reads and writes a lot—out of a love of language. Keen attention to detail and a sense of personal style…for instance his use of ‘make due’ instead if ‘make do’. That’s like wearing an ascot and sport coat where everyone else i

Based on the article, the author of the book under review seems satisfied that tonal, orchestral music has a new place in film scores. But, it should be observed that, as music for film, it puts music in a secondary role. There is a massive
