Preface To Telepathy: A Warning About Pedanticism


Just a note - I found that picture above on Tumblr a million years ago & don't know where it's actually from, I apologize don't sue me.

The theme of this week's show is "telepathy" & the definition of telepathy is "the ability to know what is in someone else's mind, or to communicate with someone mentally, without using words or other physical signals." In other words, reading someone's mind.

When I mentioned to my wife that that was the theme she said, "Wow! There's got to be a lot of songs where people talk about reading other people's minds."

She's probably right. But I can get so weird about my show & its themes, I had to say, "Maybe, but if I can find two hours worth of songs that specifically mention telepathy or being a telepath or hell even things that are telepathic, I'll play those songs before songs that mention mind-reading."

She said, "What is wrong with you?"

But it's true! I've been spending time looking for songs about telepathy, not just mind-reading. The way I look at it, mind-reading might be a whole other theme.

Yeah, I guess something is wrong with me.
