New Kind of Rocker

Tom Ball

    Daphne said, “I had developed a new kind of music which used chimes for percussion and 3 guitars all playing different notes plus a rhythm guitar and bass guitar.“ It was certainly complex music and one had to listen to each song several times to be able to fully enjoy it. Supercomputers liked to listen to her music as did many intellectuals and this made her proud.
    Her first album was called, “Sentient Animals,“ and incorporated animal sounds singing along to the music. Her second album was called, “Sexual Overdrive,“ and used sexual sounds along with the guitars. Her third album was, “Intellectual Feast,“ and had brilliant poetry for the lyrics which were sung in a barbershop quartet fashion.
    Her fourth album was called, “Pink Dreams,“ and featured a crowd of voices, all her own. And this was a future feminine album, and the lyrics were about a female intellectual point of view on modern society.
    Album number five was, “Perpetual Motions,“ and as one listened to the music, it became more complicated and more harmonious every time you listened to it. Up to 100 times.
    Her sixth album meanwhile was “Advanced Cobwebs of Justice,“ which was about crime and surreal punishments in Space yet to come.
    Album number seven was, “Portrait of a Tycoon,“ which was about a hypothetical magnate who built amazing cities of song in Space.
    Album number eight was, “Definition of a Madman,“ which was about a madman who built cities in 4-D. And he dared to challenge the Luna King to a duel, saying the King impinged upon his freedom to build. And the King was such an egotist that he agreed and the Madman, Larry gunned him down. And Larry as an architect had 1,000 architects working for him and they did most buildings in Space. But the buildings had strange angles and looked insane. And Larry said Space was mad and he was just following the beat.
    Album number 9 was, “Triumph of the Sadists,“ which was about how many powerful bosses these days were power-crazed and even sadistic. They were crazy and their workers were miserable. And some colonies in Space were ruled by dictators who controlled the colonies’ economies and virtually enslaved the people. And many leaders in Space banned her albums.
    Album number 10 meanwhile was named, “Pandora’s Twist,“ about a celebrity woman who drove men mad and left many cities in ruins. She was wicked and really bad news. The album was a study of evil women in general.
    Album 11, was “Deep Space Overdrive.“ It was about a hypothetical voyage to the Centauri system which discovered invisible Aliens. The Aliens lived as disembodied spirits. And invited the human pioneers to join them. But the Aliens lived for quietude and peace and didn’t get along with the noisy, crass humans. So finally, there was war and the Aliens triumphed. And after that, humans never went to deep Space again.
    Album 12 was a double album and was called, “To Live Forever.“ It was about how it takes a special kind of person to live even to 100. Eternal youth was a new thing, but there were a lot of overdoses and deaths which may or may not have been suicide. Everyone was taking a variety of drugs to get through the day. In Daphne’s opinion, “The whole human race was a group of suicidal maniacs. We need sanity.“
    Album 13 was “Android Survivors,“ and was about a nuclear war fought with android troops. And finally, one of the androids seizes power and there is no end to the wars.
    Album 14 was, “Sex on Caliban,“ about this small planet of Uranus that becomes a hub for sex tourists. The sex tourists all want kinky sex with android lovers. Android lovers would be known to satisfy humans.
    Album 15 was “Hypnosis of the Shrew.“ About a witch who is hypnotized to become good. It was an inspirational story.
    Album 16 was called, “Delving into Mr. Good.“ It was about a good man who fought against various evils.
    In Daphne’s long life she released a hundred albums. And everyone went to number one on the charts and got increasingly more complex.
