Billie's Bounce

What? You don't know this song? If we were in the 1940s, this song would be so popular that even the birds would be singing it.

"WRONG."

Huh? What's wrong with the statement I just made? There were birds, um, "singing" this song in the 1940s.

"You're not talking about real birds. You're talking about Charlie Parker, a famous jazz saxophonist known for the rhythmic variety in his playing. Just because people called him "Bird" doesn't mean he really is a bird."

Of course you would say that, Blue Text. Thanks for shutting down my Billie's Bounce advertising campaign! Hopefully my visitor still wants to listen to the song here:

You could have actually used logical arguments, Liya.

If I were to grab my time machine - where is it? Oh, here it is.

If I were to transport myself back to 1945, I could hear Charlie Parker performing his composition for the first time, but I don't think it was especially popular, except in the small but avid jazz community which began playing it almost immediately. 

You have to protect yourself from the danger of misleading information. It can persuade you to buy products you wouldn't choose otherwise, sign up for lower quality programs, or believe that an investment is worth buying into when it will actually waste thousands. It can even make you feel like you're bad at something you're actually good at.

Misleading information is everywhere now, but it takes a sharp eye, or ear, to find it. If there had been an advertisement on this page, some of it could be right in front of you. All it takes is observing the world more carefully, and you can discover new things that will make your life better.

While you're using those ears, don't forget to keep filling your teacup with music!
