I've been watching movies from the 1920s and noticed a normalized repressive influence of common social values. I know that is hard for some to grasp. Now, certain words are extremely taboo and saying the wrong thing gets a person in tons of trouble. Back then, people dressed very much the same, as they do now. There were certain things back then that were extremely taboo, like sex and the naked human body. This "everyone agrees you get in trouble if you do that" thing is what I'm referencing here. How in the 1920s, it was as strong as the 2020s.
Aerosmith Rocks saved my brain. I was stuck in a car most of the day, most days. My drive-crazy father would get all pissed if I made any sound or stopped looking out the windows. He had also recently bought me said cassette at a local garage sale. My path was obvious. Being so into music gave me something to listen to and think about that whole time. My sister did not have anything like this and it shows now. I'm a crippled musician living with same parents at 42 and she is married, has a high paying job and an expensive place to live. When I questioned her and explained what I found when I looked back, she said that it was to call her horrible. No. It was to make her question everything. Apparently too much for a brain with NO INTERESTS. That is too much doubt for someone who has never had a hobby.
And what do I get for playing multiple instruments in multiple bands, writing a book on music theory and recording multiple solo albums? What do I get for learning to fix bicycles, computers and guitars? What do I get for learning suminagashi, bookbinding, woodblock printing, paper mache and sculpture in pipecleaners among other things like audio/video recording and editing with effects? Nothing but torture. Every second worse forever.
