An article I wrote about '39

Comments, corrections, etc., are all welcome.

I enjoyed the testimonies at the end of the article.

I skimmed the rest of the article, as my understanding of music theory is lacking. "Chromatic progression" did ring a bell from my college days, but I lack knowledge of what that term means, Also, I am not capable of learning the meaning of this term, because I am half brained in that my "right" brain is a shrivelled raisin.

Who the fuck is gonna read that? It is a song on a Queen album about the time distortion effect.

End.

(That is about as clever as I need to be)

A couple of people already did. So there.

... but did they read every word?

Great article. Congratulations.

Probably. It's not that hard. Anyone with an IQ over 50 can do it. So, yeah, I can understand how hard it may seem to some, but still...

This is great. Painstakingly detailed and exhaustive, like all of your writings but I must say I skimmed through some of the more detailed analysis. I'll get back to it later to read it in full when I have more time.

Great job. Is this part of a bigger piece? I know you had (still have?) a Queen music analysis website.

PS: I know he supposedly changed his name legally to Frederick and you're technically correct in calling him that but I find it super annoying. No disrespect intended.

So far, at least 3/4 of the documented responders have an IQ of 50 or less.

Thanks. There's no rush.

It's not mine. I only contributed a little bit to one of the sections in there, but most of what I wrote there is now outdated. Another one of my tasks for later.

Best cure for that is exposure.

Not really. All they've said is that they haven't read it all, not that they *can't* read it all. They're different concepts.

A pretty much interestingly-deep space & travel time Queen song analogy. Well-done Sebastian. ’Just fly away, far away’.

So ... if I manage to read the whole thing, but don't understand it, is my IQ irrevocably under 50?

Not necessarily. That's not how it works.

Thanks, Sebastian, for this great article!

It's a very good article with some interesting and informative stuff. Keep the good hard work.
