Second Monday Music: Life’s third pleasure

Rock ’n Roll

By Jim Rix

Nature dictates the first two pleasures of life. These primal pleasures are the same not only for us humans but for all living creatures. The hunger drive is necessary to provide the energy for life to procreate. That’s right—from the perspective of survival, life is all about food and sex. That’s why they’re so much fun. We humans with our superior intelligence (I use this term loosely) are able to satisfy these two primal pleasures with relative ease, and we are therefore left with significant free time. It’s this free time that allows us to engage in individual third pleasures. Some enjoy reading, writing and editing. Some enjoy riding motorcycles. Some enjoy traveling. For me it’s Rock ’n Roll.
