Watch, then ask: Have I danced? Have I sung?
reality is often tossed aside for the-world-is-flat assumptions because its simply easier to digest. There must be a point here. (he smiles). Oh, yes, the point. "Music & Life" is a cartoon.
A cartoon you oughta watch (1 minute of your life, max). A dang fine cartoon, actually. A dang fine cartoon that takes you by surprise because part of you is waiting for the sarcastic sucker-punch and part of you is really swept up inside the whole thing. Combining almost-zen instincts, traditional Japanese stringed music (and some classical western stuff thrown in the mix as well), the vocal cadence of poets,...and "South Parkian" caliber cartoon drawings (oy!)...the cartoon gives life to one of the recordings of Alan Watts as he explores the 'point' of education by comparing it to music.
