On a non-cynical note, my Grandma suffered pretty badly from dementia in her final years. When I went to visit, I always made sure I wore bright coloured clothes as this appeared to stimulate her senses more. Same with birthday cards and flowers etc. But the one thing that I'm very glad of is that I sat with her on her birthday (they wheeled her into the care home's sitting room where they had a piano) and played a whole load of Scott Joplin rags for her. She'd been able to play these and was, in fact, my inspiration to stop being a little shit and learn something musical. As soon as I started playing, she started bobbing around in her seat and enjoying herself. I've no idea about the science of it all but music, colours and things like that must be the basic pleasures and the last ones to fade.
Sorry about the serious comment. More cock/kitten/cunts posts will resume as normal tomorrow.

I'm nowhere nearly old enough to suffer the problems that come with dementia, but I do occasionally have major issues with depression:
Sometimes music can just transport me to a place where my 'problems' fade to such an insignificant level that I can get on and do the basic functions, like eating, washing/grooming, cooking and cleaning without (what seems to me) serious trauma/angst.
I endorse this message :)
