In an imaginary, physiological, emotionally laden domain, the listener who remembers a hit song, will turn into the song's ideal subject, he will turn into the person for who the song ideally speaks. At the same time, as one of many who identify with that fictitious subject, that musical "I," he will feel his isolation ease, as he himself feels integrated into the community of fans.
In whistling such a song, he bows to a ritual of socialization, but except for this, his isolation continues unchanged. The comparison with addiction was inescapable. Addicted conduct generally has a social component. Addiction to music, on the part of many entertainment listeners, is similar to addiction.
When you mix music with drugs, it becomes super phsyco addictive.
The 'Hit Parade,' according to a book called 'Dope Inc.,' is organized around the same principles, used by 'Ancient Egypt's Isis priesthood,' and for the same purposes. 'The Hit Parade,' is used to recruit youth, into the 'Dionistic,' counter cultures, such as the 'Hippie' movement, the 'Hare Krishna's,' and other eastern pagan cults.
