1999dec07. This whole hippie didgeridoo/drum phenomenon reminds me of a guy I saw playing the Theremin the other month. He sucked, really really horrid and all that, but you know, it was sort of hard to tell. If you pick up an instrument that has actual levers or holes that you have to depress or cover up or whatever in some “musical” sequence, and you actually DO it, then that’s showing a bit of talent. Whereas if you make poopy noises with a didgeridoo, or weird electronic noises with your Theremin, or bang on one drum endlessly without remorse, you apparently don’t even have to be REMOTELY close to anything musical. Now that I’m in California I’m seeing these drumming types all over the place, like infestations or something. Cropdusting, is what I’m advocating here.
