7.Because you enjoy it
8.To store stuff in. You will never have as much space as that guy in the old Globetrotters cartoon did but it can help free up a hand with a pen,pencil, pair of glasses or..... well, actually I guess those are the only things but it still helps.

Funky Songs
Has anyone noticed that the songs of the 1980's with funk were kind of long? Not that I mind, in my opinion many of those artist put more effort in their music and performance than current-day musicians. I don't mean that as a knock toward modern musics but there was a different environment with its own guidelines as there will be a different environment in the future.

I wonder about Wonder Woman
So I just watched a Wonder Woman movie. I haven't really been a Wonder Woman fan as a comic book reader, only reading about her when her stories involved heroes I was interested in like Batman or the JLA and when she killed that guy with the crisis stroyline. However I was given the movie (which was actually really good)and can't help but think, was the thing to wonder about Wonder-Woman not that she was a female hero but that she was able to wear a bathing suit was she fought crime and never had some type of embarrassing costume malfunction occur.

Music and People
Does anyone ever find they associate songs with people? I do. I already know some others do because you always hear of people who were in a relationship having a song that makes them think of the person. However I am referring to those aside from the deep romantically emotional relationship connects for the most part here.
I think it must be natural to have a mental connection between a song and person for is not music emotional. The same way a picture can make people think of an event or a smell; music works in a similar pattern. Music can remind people of an event that is connected to it like a obon song to an obon or gongs to a festival or performance that featured them.
I am curious about mental connections that are not tied to a specific memory though. For instance I always think of an elementary school friend when I hear Santana's "Maria Maria" or how I think of a certain teacher I had when I hear No Doubt's "Spiderwebs" however I have no idea why. Maybe there is a memory at the core of these connects that I don't really remember now yet I still wonder how many others have these seemingly arbitrary connections.
