J and I were just having a conversation about Billy Joel and the songs he won’t play anymore because they either didn’t age well or don’t evoke the emotions in him they once did. Then, J mentioned that he can “see” sound.
“Oh, he’s got phlegmatosis,” I thought. Fortunately, J corrected me before I said anything.
Apparently, it’s “synesthesia”. Billy Joel has synesthesia.
Phlegmatosis sounds cooler, but after a quick search it seems that it’s not a real medical condition. Or a real word.
I bet if it was a medical condition, it’d be really sticky.
Stay safe.
