I decided to make the topic one of a severed head, and then I came up with this bizarre story.
What's with the singing box?Well, remember the old story about Orpheus going to Hell to free his girlfriend?
He looks back - WHAM! Eurydice is back in Hell. A gang of women tear Orpheus apart, and his head falls into the stream, still singing.
Some chick puts the head in a box, sells it to a joint on the island, and it becomes the first jukebox.
Here it is. Just fifty bucks.
Problem is, it sings in Greek. It sounds so painful and sad, but beautiful. Too bad I don't know Greek.
Do you?
Oh well. Still sounds beautiful.
The tale of Orpheus is one I like very much, and the story didn't end when his wife went back into Hell because he looked back. The fact that his head was still singing down the stream made me wonder "When did it stop singing?"
