All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!

- Yoko Ono

If only I had thought of this! Think of the ticket sales...it is a Ticketmaster dream! You have to wonder if the audience actually goes to a theater to sit and think their music....or just buy a ticket and stay home in bed?

In The Music Man, Professor Harold Hill got into some hot water selling music lessons in Gary Indiana based on the think-system. His idea - scam as it was - was that if you think the music, you can play the music. I lived on this theory for a long time, and as the result I think I can play about twenty instruments. Unfortunately what comes out the other end is not really all that pleasant. The benefit however is that if you have thought long enough on it, you start to hear it anyway. It's at that point you either succeed - as apparently Yoko has - or you get carted off by men in white suits.

So, Yoko, after all these years I applaud you. Silently, in my mind.
