Idiot Box Incubus
S.C.I.E.N.C.E
Tabbed by Ryan Landis
I haven't seen an accurate version of Idiot Box tabbed out anywhere before,
so I'm taking it upon myself to make one. I've only included the main part
of the song... the fills are extraordinarily easy... they're just repeated
notes.

| Aldous Huxely(author of "brave new world") also wrote the essay/novel the dorrs of perception in which he depicts the negative sides of TV just as incubus does here. | |

| this is about how TV ruins your ability to think for yourself and how a little or big plastic box controls so many of us it's a shame really. I'd like to keep my autonomy thank you very much! 1 2 Next | |

| I agree with Kyrie...the "idiot box" effects all who let it...from hapless housewives to corporate leaders who for some reason or another can't see what the media in general can do to their perception of reality | |

| i agree with what anti-prep2000 said that "TV is controlling and corrupting the minds of our youth".. Kyrie mentioned that its "too bad we cant all get rid of this(idiot box or TV)" .....I totally agree ..down with the MTV and OLSEN TWINS!! ...these 2 no 3 things have been corrupting more minds than anything else ... anyways, this is a great song :) | |
