QUOTE : What is love? Great minds have been grappling with this<br />question through the ages, and in the modern era, they have<br />come up with many different answers. According to the Western<br />philosopher Pat Benatar, love is a battlefield. Her paisan Frank<br />Sinatra would add the corollary that love is a tender trap. The<br />stoner kids who spent the summer of 1978 looking cool on the<br />hoods of their Trans Ams in the Pierce Elementary School<br />parking lot used to scare us little kids by blasting the Sweet hit<br />“Love Is Like Oxygen”—you get too much, you get too high,<br />not enough and you’re gonna die. Love hurts. Love stinks. Love<br />bites, love bleeds, love is the drug. The troubadours of our times<br />all agree: They want to know what love is, and they want you to<br />show them.<br />But the answer is simple. Love is a mix tape.
