Summary: <p>K: So, recently I’ve been thinking – by recently I mean since we recorded our last episode – of what the heck does – so, several words. Metropolis. Mecropolis. Country. City. And town. Oh, and village. Mean to you. You meaning Chad Musick. Because I have no clue. Like, our last discussion, you were like, “no, that’s a metropolis.” Like, what are you talking about? I went all superhero. What are you on about, man? Do we live in a city, town, country, where do we live?</p> <p>C: We live in a city. </p> <p>K: Okay, and what makes it a city versus a town? Versus a village. Versus a necropolis – metropolis? Necropolis?</p> <p>C: Those are both words, but metropolis is the one you’re looking for.</p> <p>K: Okay. What’s the difference between a metropolis and a necropolis? </p> <p>C: A mecropolis is a big city. </p> <p>K: Okay. What’s a mecropolis?</p> <p>C: You just said the same thing twice. A mecropolis is still a big city.</p> <p>K: What’s a metropolis?</p> <p>C: A metropolis – it is the city that superman came from. </p> <p>K: Okay.</p> <p>C: But a metropolitan area, or a metropolis for short, is usually a large city and the surrounding areas.</p> <p>K: Okay. So, we do we live in a metropolis?</p> <p>C: We do live in a metropolis.</p> <p>K: Okay.</p> <p>C: We live in the Nagoya metropolitan area. And we live inside Nagoya city.</p> <p>K: Okay. So, in the United Sates, when we lived in California, and we lived in Santa Clara city, did we live in a metropolis?</p> <p>C: We lived in the San Jose metropolis. Yes. </p> <p>K: The Santa Clara county?</p> <p>C: Yes.</p> <p>K: I don’t understand anything you’re saying to me.</p> <p>C: San Jose was the bigger city, so even though the county was named Santa Clara</p> <p>K: Yeah.</p> <p>C: We lived within Santa Clara city and Santa Clara country.</p> <p>K: Yeah.</p> <p>C: It was the San Jose metropolis. Also known as Silicon Valley. </p> <p>K: Yeah. Okay. I agree with it being Silicon Valley, but Silicon Valley isn’t just San Jose. It’s San Jose, Santa Clara, Campbell, Los Gatos; it’s a bunch of cities.</p> <p>C: The San Jose metropolis. </p> <p>K: It’s Santa Clara county plus a couple of neighboring counties.</p> <p>C: But not all of the counties, it’s only the densely populated areas.</p> <p>K: Mm. I disagree with that as the native Californian. </p> <p>C: Okay. You could do that.</p> <p>K: Yeah. I could do that. I think that the Silicon Valley expanded under the Clinton era to include a much broader space because</p> <p>C: Definitely</p> <p>K: Silicon Valley was where people were doing tech, so just tech companies.</p> <p>C: Right.</p> <p>K: And then during the bust, it shrunk back down. (laughs)</p> <p>C: Right. I moved to California in 95. 1995, not 2095. And San Francisco was</p> <p>K: Not 2095 because we’re going to be going strong.</p> <p>C: People are still going to be listening to the archives.</p> <p>K: Yeah. Way to keep it going. Get that positivity on board.</p> <p>C: Thank you.</p> <p>K: Yeah. Absolutely. In, like… so, you said 1995 because you don’t want to be confused with 2095. </p> <p>C: Which is only 75 years from now.</p> <p>K: Yeah. Okay. And are you still going to be alive and kicking?</p> <p>C: No, but somebody’s going to inherit the podcast.</p> <p>K: So, do you think like Rasta’s kids or Rasta, who’s going to keep it going?</p> <p>C: Probably his kids and then his grandkids.</p> <p>K: Because we’re going to be doing the Musicks in Japan forever as long as there is a single, solitary Musick in Japan. </p> <p>C: Correct.</p> <p>K: They’re going to experience the generation of our lineage. I guess it would be your lineage.</p> <p>C: And it’s got to be at least two, not one. Because if it’s only one, then it’s the Musick in Japan. </p> <p>K: Yeah, no. It’s t</p>
