Posted by shellyl Remembering part of the lyics would be great. I could at least google them and I normally can get it that way. This song is a total bust. I even looked at lists of 80's and 90's bands and nothing stood out ARGH! |
Posted by WEKurtz Shellyl: Here's my theory on memory deterioration. Your memory is basically like a big piece of Swiss Cheese. Think of incoming data as fast flying debris that slams into the cheese and gets stuck there for you to examine. When the cheese is young there are only a few holes and the data/debris rarely flies through a hole which means it is forgotten. As you age the holes get bigger and bigger. Now incoming data/debris is just as likely to fly through a hole as get stuck on the cheese. You ask someone their name and it's gone as fast as it was said. (As if you never even heard it). It means your "short-term" memory in pretty much gone. You can still learn stuff, but it requires lotsa repetition and periodic review. The good news?..Old cheese is the best. The flavor (memories) are aged and mellow, and wonderful to enjoy with a nice vintage wine. (If you can remember where it is). Kurtz modified for grammar. |
