friday night fights: music vs. image, as pondered by (me!) sandra, tvgp

-first, i must repeat:  the salt and the light of late night tv:

stephen colbert.

-now, if you are familiar you know about Friday night fights..

and if you are familiar, you also recently witnessed how they tested the power of music by playing the price is right music..

or i should say, the price is write, show theme song, with scary movie scenes in the background.

and for (me!), -the music was more powerful in that it did in fact override the scary; diluting its potential to frighten..

then i got to wondering about the reverse..

if i were exposed to scary music with happy, peaceful images playing on the screen..

does that formula still hold true?    or is it, across the board; hands down

music more powerful than image? when they are sharing the same stage...

?

...but i did entirely stop watching music videos because they tainted how much i otherwise enjoyed the song/the music..
