all content has a form – they are inseparable and of course the form shapes the content

Form / Content all content has a form – they are inseparable and of course the form shapes the content BUT content also shapes form: we use pitchers or glasses for water because plates don’t work

Form / Content Love songs – the same content the world over and across time: you are awesome, handsome, pretty, smart, funny, made for me, me for you, two halves of a whole, blah-blah- blah I really dig you and we should be together forEVER, m’kay? but the forms change

Form / Content from Medieval love lyrics For I love you so much, truly, that one could sooner dry up the deep sea and hold back its waves than I could constrain myself from loving you … and so on…

Form / Content to today: I belong with you You belong with me You’re my Sweetheart… and so on…

Form / Content When form and content match, you get something good When form and content don’t match, well …
