So you think you're good at music...

ChillinBuzz	Date: December 14, 2007 @ 10:48 PM It's a September article but I never saw it until earlier today... Makes you realise how basic your musical skills really are when compared to this boy: Meet Rex: A little boy with both a severe disability and a great genius. He is a musical savant. Rex was born blind, with brain damage so severe it looked as though he would never walk, talk, or do much of anything. And yet, he has a musical talent few of us can imagine. http://60minutes.yahoo.com/segment/91/rex

zedsalt	Date: March 14, 2008 @ 3:35 AM There are so many ways in which peoples' gifts and shortcomings seem to kind of "even out". It's one of the things that makes it difficult for me to believe that there isn't some sort of larger consciousness governing it all. Like last night at Dairy Queen, there was a little boy, probably in what they'd call the severely or profoundly retarded category. He was sitting on his Dad's lap with this big smear of chocolate across his face and the most undeniable expression of complete bliss on his face. I couldn't help but think that while I'd like to think myself capable of that kind of Joy, I doubt I have the capacity to experience it in reaction to eating ice cream with my family.
