The Aural Sex
Men can't communicate with women, that much is known. Death, taxes, and "talking only when there's something to say." Though perfectly acceptable in the company of chest-beaters, the syntax of
saying little-- grunts, single sentences, lengthy periods of silence, etc.-- is neither understood by nor necessarily well-tolerated by the Other Sex. Women gripe as they've always griped,
bemoaning the steady stream of "thoughtfeeling" that they know their
mate is having but isn't expressing. Heck, even ol' Babs "Infomercials 'R' Us" DeAngelis has a new book on the matter, "What
Women Want Men To Know," a tantalizing, near-$23 tome that's crammed with details a-plenty about why each gender frustrates the Hell
out of the other.
One method of communication not included in DeAngelis' book-- at
least on hasty skim-through-- is a man's recorded musical expression of himself. That is, those certain, special songs that say
everything he can't. Thus, and for the benefit of silence-facing
female readers, I present Mike's Guide to Men's Feelings, a laundry
list of Standard Male Emotions (SME) as associated with the titles
of assorted harder-rock and heavy-metal songs. Each track is the
aural equivalent of the indexed emotion, in musical tone or lyrical
content or both. (That the artists represent the same eras of rock
music listened to by the author is, frankly, purely coincidental.
And don't call me Frank.)
Wanna know what a man's feelings feel like, Ladies? Just listen to
one or more of these... Dude.
