KEYBOARDIST thinks the band should get mood tattoos for the show! Smiley faces! Or a happy sun?!
KEYBOARDIST: We should get mood tattoos for the show! Smiley faces! Or a happy sun?
GUITARIST points out that Keys is assuming the band is pro-tattoo.
GUITARIST: Those are very "rock and roll" options.
GUITARIST: But you're assuming we're all pro-tattoo.
KEYBOARDIST wants to encourage people to get them - for deeper connections and fewer conflicts.
KEYBOARDIST: We should be! They totally promote deeper connections and reduce conflict. Science says so.
SINGER concedes that data suggest people with tattoos are less prone to conflict...but there's more to communication than moods. WORDS are important, and the tattoos take the place of words.
SINGER: Yes, it seems like people with Mood Tattoos are less prone to conflict...
SINGER: ... but there's more to communication than moods. Those tattoos can't replace words.
BASSIST says People can lie with words. They CAN'T lie if people know what they're feeling. If someone is full of shit, everyone will see it. That's good.
BASSIST: But, people can lie with words. They CAN'T lie if everyone can see how full of shit they are. That's good.
GUITARIST thinks people have the right to keep secrets if they want to. Like onstage, where you may put on a face for the crowd. What matters is what you put out there, not what's inside.
GUITARIST: Don't people have the right to hide something if they want to?
GUITARIST: What matters is what we put out there for the crowd, not what's inside.
KEYBOARDIST suggests you could also show people that you aren't hiding ANYTHING. Guitar hadn't thought of it that way.
KEYBOARDIST: But you could also show people that you aren't hiding _anything_.
They'll vote on it.
GUITARIST: I... hadn't thought of it that way.
AKAI triggers the vote...
SINGER: What about the people who created Mood Tattoos? Why do they _want_ people to have them? What are they hiding?
KEYBOARDIST: We should at least be open with each other. Are we for, or against, Mood Tattoos?
