    You joke but music memory is literally the last thing to go. In fact, if you ever want to help the nurses care for your relative with dementia, make 2 playlists / mixtapes of their favorite songs. One Playlist of calming songs for them to sleep to and to listen to when they’re upset, and one Playlist of exciting songs for when the physical therapist needs to get them up and active!

        Again, you joke, but do you know how hard it is to control STDs in a building full of women with dead husbands who can’t get pregnant?

            You joke, but do you have any idea how hard I’ve tried?

      My wife still struggles with language and memory after her strokes from several years back, but every now and then she’ll break into song with a perfect tune from even as far back as her childhood.

        “speak-singing” is a thing some people do to work around language issues, apparently it’s an entirely different part of the brain.

      I want to get a tatoo that says “Things to play if I have brain damage” or something, then put bands and genres that hit core memories.

        Get a qr code to a Spotify playlist. This way you won’t have to get laser removal when you want to change a song

          Better yet, get a qr code to your own domain that forwards to your spotify playlist so you can change the entire qr code to something else in the future should you want to

          Edit: Hell, I might actually do this lol.

      So that’s gonna be whirling-in-rags (evening) and Mute City (Kyaku remix), respectively, for me.
