It is a question many ponder, this "What is life?" I am frankly not one of them. No, I'm more likely to ask, "When do we eat?" & then follow that question up with, "What are we having?" & of course "Can I have some more?" There are deeper questions still, like, "Is that all?" & "Are you going to finish that?" & of course there's "Don't tell me I ate too much!" which isn't a question but like many imperative sentences does lead one to another question which of course is, "Did I eat too much?"
However, this week's show - the first of 2019! - has chosen instead to tackle the question, "What is life?" It wasn't my decision, but I did sign off on it, probably while eating. It's easy to get me to sign off on things if I am stuffing ungodly amounts of food into my mouth & down my craw. I think I proposed to my wife while eating. The process of eating is for me such a culinary trip that I am incapable of thinking about anything besides what I am consuming & also probably wondering whether there's more & maybe occasionally looking about to see if it's nearby.
Should you think perhaps the question can easily be answered "life is food" & you don't have to listen after all, may I remind you that the show explores its themes - in 2019 as well as before - through music, so why not let the musicians & also the show's guests help with that question? If I were a musician & I wrote songs, I most certainly might write a song called "Life Is Lunch" but I am not a musician I am a curator so why are you arguing with me about this? Either listen to the show or don't, why focus on my obvious eating disorder? I thought 2019 was going to be different.
The show happens tomorrow at noon at Self Help Radio dot net. There will be lots of answers to the question but you will have to make your own mind up. Also, you'll need to make your own meal, if you listen while you eat. & if you make some for me, that will be greatly appreciated. I'll swing by after the show to get it. Excellent!
