- 4107: The Consumer and the Gimmick
- ... band. Perhaps there is a simple formula for disaster. First the song is played on the radio and then the video is constantly on MTV, thus causing us to get tired of the music. It's as easy as that! We sit and whine about not hearing enough from our favorite band, but once they come out with new music we smother ourselves in it. We then get sick of it and are left looking for something new to fulfill our cravings. This is when we, the monster consumers of music, decide to take our interest to the next hit song. It's not all our fault. You have to put at least some blame on the bands themselves. They feel that it is part of their job to indulge our wants.

This is because we consume the musicians' talents like a fast food happy meal. We open the box, take out the toy, throw away the contents, and then ...

- ... the power of the elements and the sophistication of human mechanization. Could it be one of symbiosis, where man and nature coexist in relative peace? Are we, as a species, simply a part of nature’s constantly changing realm? This issue is one that philosophers have debated for centuries.
