Thanks and back at ya! I used to be a drummer and a singer years ago, no great shakes but I always kept the beat and could always carry a tune. Had lots of guitarists tell me they tuned to my voice. And so it was when I first heard Obama speak it was like the biggest set of nails across the worlds biggest blackboard, I can’t listen to the guy. I’m opposed to everything he stands for, I hate his guts(and I don’t care what color he is) and that monotone voice drives me to distraction.
I hear ya - interesting that you come at it (at least partially) from the standpoint of music and drumming. I literally cannot stomach the sound of his voice or the sight of him on TV. I have to change the channel or put my fingers in my ear or somesuch. I read something on NLP - neurolinguistic programming a while back. I think there is something to that angle as well - sort of a hypnotic “Looook into my eyeessss” sort of thing that seems to work on his followers. Lots of different but in the end complementary ways of saying what is essentially the same thing.
