| GUITAR ARM ME by Gerry
Fialka and Hear Comes Everybody
Being a student of Robert Dobbs, Marshall McLuhan and James Joyce, I have studied the hidden effects of what humans have invented, forever trying to uncover the environments that are not evident. Most people do not even consider them, but instead get into that "hot bath" they create with the above-ground comforts, eventually turning us into imitators of their effects. "The turning point in the history of western
civilization was reached with the invention of the electric guitar."
If
the telegraph caused the civil war, the radio caused WWII, &
the cellphone caused 9/11, then what did the electric guitar cause?
