The first song one that is a "Sanity Test Song" and when I first heard it on the radio back around 1970 or so I cringed at it I wasn't ready to try kindness much less pretend to be kind and gentle to others...
"TRY A LITTLE KINDNESS"-GLEN CAMPBELL
"SWEET BLINDNESS"-THE FIFTH DIMENSION (WITH FRANK SINATRA-LIVE)
"SUGAR TOWN"-NANCY SINATRA
"THE LUST, THE FLESH, THE EYES AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE"-THE SEVENTY-SEVENS
Welcome to another attempt at media excellence four songs three of them about ways to get yourself intoxicated in my humble opinion.
And regarding the first "Sanity Test Song" it's been said that "Sanity" is 'the acceptance of reality'.
An "Escaping Reality Update" The Beatles "Strawberry Fields Forever" is the theme song...
"If those of us in industrial societies are image junkies, then we've all been set up--predisposed-to become lust junkies...
Needing to have photographs confirm and enhance reality implies that we have some kind of reality deficit...
What is most irresistible is the image-ingestion aspect of our relation to photos. Eye-candy. They taste so good! They feed an appetite. They feed the appetite they create. But both appetite and food are pseudo.
Have we become more prone to ingest image reality than experience real reality (whatever that is)?...
(Susan) Sontag says that everyone is now addicted to image consumption..."

MICHIGAN GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER FEEDS A DORITO TO JOURNALIST LIZ PLANK IN A VIRAL AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO
So, we in our image-driven world have gone further and further down the 'food chain' to get our hits off videos.
Lust is a big part of my visual experience, and I have used Gretchen Whitmer in the past dare I say.
That is sin I own it and am grateful for the blood of Jesus that covers it and the grace that I now live under dying to any notion of lusting after Gretchen Whitmer using her image or the image of any other woman etc. etc. because Jesus died for my sin.
There's political and social controversy surrounding this video but I see it in a different light.
And yes, the written word is being replaced by the visual image read this story from New Zealand where major media outlet "TVNZ" intends to shut down its text-oriented news website and will continue its work with video journalism-image oriented news only...
"According to the company's statement, the major proposed changes include:
Scrapping the 1News website and app in February 2025, and focus Re: News solely on video storytelling"...
