Random thoughts Stray memories

Cosmopolis has surprised me. It's now made me reflect on elevator muzak, and how my penchant for auto-repeat wrap-around songs could probably drive passengers crazy. lol.

"I have two private elevators now. One is programmed to play Satie's piano pieces and to move at one-quarter normal speed. This is right for Satie and this is the elevator I take when I'm in a certain, let's say, unsettled mood. Calms me, makes me whole."
"Who's the other elevator?"
"Brutha Fez."
"Who's that?"
"The Sufi rap star. You don't know this?"
"I miss things."
"Cost me major money and made me an enemy of the people, requisitioning that second elevator."

- Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis
