• Ballad of Marshall Mcluhan

nce upon a time there was a town
A town where chaos reigned
Lawlessness was everywhere
And there was no cohesive theory existing which properly
explained the mass media and their impact on society
and man's thinking
And then one day a stranger came riding into town
And all the townsfolk gathered 'round and asked him
his name
Well he tipped his hat and he said,
"Marshall. Marshall McLuhan."

Marshall....
Marshall....

Well they gave him a star and put it on his chest
And gave him his own office with his name on the door
Well, wouldn't you know the very next day a fight broke
out in the Last Chance Saloon
It was an argument concerning the externalization of the
senses and it's subsequent effect on man's
psychological makeup
It was about to come to blows when Marshall stepped in
And he said, "Boys, a theory of cultural change is
impossible without knowledge of the changing sense
ratio affected by various externalizations of our
senses."

Marshall McLuhan
You're such a groovy thinker
And we really dig what you say
'Cause you've got the best insights into mass media
This side of the Rio Grande

Well then came the fateful day when a tall dark man all
dressed in black came riding into town
All the townsfolk ran inside and locked their doors and hid
And the bad man stood in the town square and he called
out for Marshall McLuhan
He said, "Marshall, I don't agree with your description of
television as a tactile medium in the context of a
visual notion of causality."

So Marshall shot him.

Marshall McLuhan
You're such a groovy thinker
And we really dig what you say
'Cause you've got the best insights into mass media
This side of the Rio Grande
Marshall McLuhan....
Marshall McLuhan....
Marshall McLuhan....
