    The 100 Greatest Rock Moments of the Millennium So Far - Part 10: (10-1)

    People who study such things say that the human brain—this folded lump of mostly fat—has a pretty good hard drive…the average adult brain has a capacity of about 2.5 petabytes…put another way, that’s 2.5 million gigs…that’s a lot. We’re talking personal memories, facts, academic education, learned behaviors, and muscle memory…there are also special places where things like musical memories and lyrics are stored. Some memories remain rock solid, barring some kind of injury or illness…but because we’re always experiencing new things, we forget other stuff as new experiences crowd out the old stuff. As a result, things fade…significant details about something can start to fade away within days—even hours or minutes, depending on circumstances surrounding that memory…some will become corrupted—which is why eyewitness accounts are often considered unreliable in court…and it’s not like we can download a backup of our memories—at least not yet. This is why it’s a good idea to a little maintenance on the hard drives in our head…and that can be as simple as doing a refresh…how?...but stopping for a little history…a quick study on where we’ve been, what we’ve done, and what’s happened to us…think of it as pressing “F4” on a keyboard a bunch of times. John Lennon said “life is what happens when you’re making other plans” …and the more time goes by, the more plans we might have made…inevitably, we forget some of life. And that’s why if we want to know why things are the way they are—and where things may go in the future—we have to hit “F4” every once in a while. This is such a program…it’s part ten of the 100 greatest rock moments of the millennium so far…how many of these things do you remember?...and have you even thought of them in this way?...let’s find out with moments 10 through number 1. Songs in this episode: The Strokes - Someday Linkin Park - One Step Closer Metallica - St. Anger U2 - Vertigo BoyWithYuke - Toxic The Tragically Hip - Ahead By A Century (live) Sum 41 - Over My Head (live) Pocket Gods - Who Do I Have To Sleep With To Get On This Spotify Playlist?

    We’ve been talking about life beyond earth for decades…and one of the best places to look (for starters) are the moons of Jupiter and Saturn…wouldn’t it be cool if we could land a probe on one of them to have a little look around? ...but that won’t happen for decades, right? Wrong…it already happened…in 2005, the Huygens probe descended to the surface of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn…it was a monumental achievement in space exploration. Oh…forgot that that one, huh? ...okay, let’s try another. Anyone remember when an entire country went bankrupt? ...you would if you were from Iceland…in 2008, the entire Icelandic banking system collapsed forcing the nation to declare bankruptcy…but Iceland recovered by actually holding bankers accountable and initiating a series of financial reforms that are worth studying by other countries. Don’t remember, huh?... One more. What about the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010…it was the largest marine oil spill in history and cause an incredible amount of environmental and economic damage…they even made a movie about it along with a bunch of documentaries. My point is that news and world events come at us so fast and from so many angles, they occupy all our attention for a hot minute…but then we either become overwhelmed, bored, or distracted by something else…we move on and forget—or bury the information deep. I sometimes think we’re approaching the human limit of being able to process all the information that comes at us every second…and if we can’t do that, we can’t learn any lessons from the past, we can’t understand why we are where we are now, and we can’t even predict where we might go in the future. That’s why it’s important for us to stop, look back and to see what happened…this is chapter 9 of “the 100 greatest rock moments of the 21st century—so far” . Songs in this episode: Moby - Porcelain Chris Cornell - Nothing Compares To You Linkin Park - In The End The White Stripes - Blue Orchid Thea Gilmore - Mainstream U2 - Until The End Of The World (live) Jack White - Lazaretto Eagles of Death Metal - I Love You All The Time Man With No Name - Teleport Learn more about your ad choices.

    How many times have you been told to “live in the moment?”…it usually comes with statements like “the past can’t be changed, the future is unknown, so all you can do is experience the present to the fullest extent of your being”. In other words, be more like a dog…i’m always watching my bull terriers go about their day…they don’t worry about the past and have little concept of the future…it’s all about eating, sleeping, doing their business outside, playing, and demanding affection…and when they engage in any of those things, they are all-in. A lovely idea, but humans don’t work that way…heaven forbid that we get lost in our thoughts—or worse, get bored—standing in line at the checkout…let’s avoid those awkward moments with ourselves and not have to be in that moment. But maybe whipping out the phone at every available second is a defense mechanism…we live in a world with so much change that we need constant distraction from how quickly things are moving… doom-scrolling isn’t healthy, but it is a way to say “stop the world, i want to get off” for a few minutes. But reality is that time is a linear thing that goes only in one direction…and if you don’t live in the moment at least sometimes, you’ll miss everything that’s happening, that has happened, and that will happen. That’s the purpose behind this ten-part series…it’s a recap of the 100 most important things that have happened in rock this millennium so far…we’re up to chapter eight…how many of these items have you missed or forgotten about because you haven’t been living the moment? Songs in this episode: Oasis - Aquiesce Tim Hawkins - YouTube Sparks - iPhone Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Californication (live) Radiohead - Bodysnatchers The Ramones - Blitzkreig Bop The Clash - London Calling The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows U2 - I Will Follow (live) Learn more about your ad choices.
