“I also now take music in my life.” Which means what????
Examples of arrogance and conceit:
“While onstage as Big Jule in Guys and Dolls during my favorite musical [poor grammar] , I helped create a wonderful atmosphere in the school auditorium by singing and dancing.”
To have enjoyed participating in the performance is one thing, or to have found it an enriching experience for hisself would be one thing, but to narcissiticly imply he knows how anyone in the audience felt, about his performance itself, is just arrogant nonsense.
As I become lost in these conversations , I create blissful memories in which I am truly part of my communit’s culture and eventually it’s history.
NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE knows they ever “create blissful memories” for anyone but themself, and becoming part of history is NOT known or knowable to participants at the time - even if one makes believe THEY are “making history”.
I won’t go one; that is so much intellectual flatulence in the essay.
This music nerd punched all the right intellectual buttons in the academic industrial establishment. He was in his way “preaching to the choir” like an old time evangelist and they all said Amen and Halleluja.
Talk about poor writing. For someone who is supposed to be incredibly smart you’d think he would have be able to write flawlessly.
