Should I play a little Mozart or Bach to the baby? I'm kind of wondering how the little tyke, crammed into the safe confines o' the wife's uterus, would take to the gentle strains of Glenn Gould's take on Mozart's Piano Sonatas. Or better yet, I could get them ready to be angry at the world by blasting some hardcore in there...a little Minor Threat (it's just a kid after all, so we'll stick to the straight edge until he/she/it's out. Then it's straight to the DK's and pre-Rollins Black Flag). I mean geez, don't ya have ta wonder? If Army PsyOps blast heavy metal music at the Vatican Embassy in Panama 24/7 to make Noriega unhappy then what effect can music have on a developing fetus? Maybe I can teach 'em language while their in there, give 'em an affinity for poetry with a little Ginsberg. Or perhaps Kerouac & Steve Allen? What about playing jazz, the blood & soul of music the very epitome of the creative mind in action? A little Bird or Miles, perhaps some Ellington for the big band expansiveness and Coltrane for the vision of the eternal and inevitable supreme love beneath it all. I'd probably get thrown in jail...
