Wow holy shit goddamn.
I gotta move myself to the mountains.
come on by ill be here
also not sure if youre into it but mushrooms are decriminalized in denver so theres that
You ever read Asterix and Obelix?
i haven’t.
Anyway, I’m not into it. Coffee and tobacco are about as psychoactive as I get.
me neither really. im too old.
the city is loaded with good coffee though so that’s nice.
there’s a tiny little town off independence pass called twin lakes. it is literally just a few businesses on the side of a highway, next to a trailhead for mt elbert. its a good 2 hours into the mountains from denver. not a lot there really except a little shop or 2, a general store and this little vw bus turned out into a coffee truck. doesnt go anywhere, just stationary. so you drive forever through nowhere and just come up on the crazy hippie type people who just sell coffee on the side of the highway. good coffee too. look at em blasting funkytown out there.

I’ve always wondered what would have happened if, instead of playing Wagner, US choppers had played this as they dropped bombs on Vietnam. Would it not have been considerably more impressive?

The moment would have definitely been more poignant… the graveness of the event, juxtaposed against the symphonic classique of the sonate… akin to Apocalypse Now and Paint It Black.
The oboe concertos would have been even better.

What would it have done to the psyche of the pilots?
More importantly, what message would it have sent?
But I guess the moment itself is what justifies the thought, without any consideration of implications.
Just the image.
“Would it not have been considerably more impressive?”
No dumbass it would have been completely and utterly ineffective. The whole point was to scare the shit out of the gooks. That shit would only calm them and help them concentrate better.
Trust me baby the napalm would be plenty scary.
The Albinoni would only make it scarier, the point more contundent.
Wagner has something to prove. “Wo, look at me, so scary, check out these basoons!”
Albinoni says “the world is our property and you are stepping on the grass.”

You both make good points… there’s a very good reason why napalm was banned for use against civilians, and any choice of music wouldn’t make it any less lethal or scary.
I preferred the Sonate, the Oboe Concertos is too jolly for me…
