The sound of the needle hitting the plastic goes round and round.
The message that the musician plays “musicates” the whole generation.
Some people listen to the song.
Others hear the song.
Others portray the song.
The melodies go on and on,
with the sounds, tunes, and textures of the notes.
Some listen to the song, some hear the song, some live the song.
Then the music stops.
The tunes fly away.
But the record, which some call broken, goes on and on.
