Plato Gettin' Under the Bridge
I have just finished a wonderful session of musical enjoyment. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just presented a wonderful rendering of musical near-perfection in their song "Under The Bridge". So close was it to perfection that I would say it very nearly defined the melodic ideal, rather than being a simple representation of such a thing. The non-complex, easygoing guitar, in combination with a steady, anchoring percussion and beautiful, provoking lyrics allowed me to glimpse that template of harmonious sounds that lies in the realm beyond. I, Plato, must say that this song, while doomed to become a decaying replication of harmonious flawlessness, took me to that wonderful realm of perfection. if only for four minutes and twenty-eight seconds. Now if only I could figure out what the ideal blogger name could be... I have the oddest feeling it relates to felines living in spacious rock formations...
