Interviewed at Bonnaroo
By Matthew Bretz
A t only 23 years old, Hozier
launched into the stratosphere
with his breakout hit “Take Me to
Church” in 2015. Since then, Irish
born Andrew Hozier-Byrne has
been bouncing around the planet
with his particularly unique brand
of cinematic blues rock. Laden with
poetic lyrics, and dripping with or-
chestral chord movements, Hozier
quickly carved a niche for himself
in the landscape of modern music,
snagging huge awards right off the
bat. Growing up in a musical fam-
ily gave him the bug early on, and
later he studied music at the Trin-

Most people know the man by his first
hit ‘Take Me to Church’, but Hozier
himself was super surprised.
“Yeah, I was super surprised! That
song seemed like a very unlikely hit in-
deed. Plus, it was the first song I ever
released so I didn’t think it was go-

Brevard Live September 2019 - 21The Column
By Chuck Van Riper
FIVE, GEE
R emember your first cellphone? Mine was a big,
chunky Nokia. It had a green screen with big black
square pixels attempting to replicate numbers and letters.
That’s it. The power lasted an hour or two if you didn’t use
it. Forget about using it for anything other than a phone. I
always hated that “Snake” game that seemed to be ubiqui-
tous in all these types of phones. It seems silly now, but at
the time, it was amazing to have a phone you could have
with you all the time, even if you did have to pay exorbi-
tant prices and charge it 5 times a day. More importantly,
a whole new infrastructure was put into place to be able to
accomplish person to person communication all the time. I
guess we could call that 1G, the first G, the G that started
it all. Because of its limitations, 1G provided merely tele-
phone service. There was no data, texting or downloading
anything.
The next big leap was to 2G (by the way the “G” stands for
generation). 2G allowed for text and data, all at a whop-
ping 250 Kilobytes per second, or Kbps. Yes, this was ago-
nizingly slow, but it was progress. 2G was the first digital
technology and ran on relatively low frequency ranges.
The advent of 2.5G and 2.75G were the next increments
to get to 3G. 3G bought with it download speeds of up
to 3 Megabits per second, or Mbps. Way faster! Now I
can see your pictures of what you had for lunch in mere
seconds. Cool! We could also upload and download data
much faster. Within 30 nanoseconds, you could be looking
up prices on hydraulic lifters, watching really porn choppy
videos, or texting your friends. Still, it wasn’t fast enough.
I shouldn’t have to wait 30 nanoseconds to find out what
you had for lunch, I want to know immediately, at least
under 10 nanoseconds! This led to the advent of 4G. With
4G, you have a speed of up to 1 gigabyte per second, or
Gbps! It actually ranges between 600Mbps and 1 Gbps.
Wow, that’s fast! Now porno movies ran smooth and I
could see your lunch immediately! Now we’re talking.
But I want more! I want to be downloading War and Peace
while my calculator is computing pi to the thousandth digit
WHILE I’m watching porn and streaming the whole thing
live to my Instagram feed. Is that too much to ask? Maybe,
but maybe not, because get ready for 5G!
22 - Brevard Live September 2019Throughout the buildout of these networks there have
always been the pros and cons of the health effects of
these G’s. Radiofrequency radiation(RFR) seems to be
the main concern. All the previous G’s ran on frequencies
below the 6 gigahertz spectrum. This allowed for rela-
tively long waves, so towers could be spread out. RFRs
aren’t inherently dangerous as they are emitted from x-
rays, microwaves, the light from your monitor, the sun,
etc. What determines if they are dangerous or not is deter-
mined by whether they are ionizing or non-ionizing. Basi-
cally, non-ionizing waves are to weak to break chemical
bonds. Things like power lines, FM radio, and wi-fi fall
into this category. Microwaves are the exception to this as
they are tuned to interact with water molecules. X-rays,
gamma rays and the like are ionizing waves. According to
Dr. Steve Novella, an assistant professor of neurology at
Yale, ionizing waves can cause damage as it kills cells and
alters DNA. Since previous versions of the G’s have been
found to be non-ionizing, it has been widely accepted that
no damage can be done from them. The debate is ongoing,
though. There are some who disagree. Enter 5G.
5G will run on much higher frequencies, between 24-90
gigahertz. Because of this higher frequency, the waves
will be much shorter, necessitating many more towers and
closer proximity of them. This is a whole new technology
with a whole new buildout, not just a 4G upgrade. How
many towers are needed? Hundreds of thousands of tow-
ers and transmitters will be needed. It is estimated that
a town will need a mini-transmitter every 2-10 houses.
Although the spectrum of frequencies are still considered
to be non-ionizing, the folks over at https://www.radia-
tionhealthrisks.com assert that radiation from the higher
part of the spectrum, such as used with 5G, the greater the
health risk. There is a consortium of over 215 scientists
worldwide who have appealed to the United Nations, ask-
ing that more research be done into the harmful effects of
5G on the environment as well as health risks. They say
their research shows the negative effects on both. See, this
is why we can’t have nice things. Damn science! When we
do roll out 5G, it will be 1000 times faster that what we
currently experience. 1000 times! Now I can not only see
your lunch, you might be able to e-mail it to me! So bring
it on! Let’s get really high speed internet. Of course that
means upgrading all your equipment to support this new
technology. That’ll be a major chunk of cash, but it will be
worth it as I’ll be able to accomplish my aforementioned
goals. Who cares what the birds and squirrels and bees
think about it.
(To my engineer friends out there, I have tried to eluci-
date, albeit very simply, and with very limited knowledge,
what the science of this technology entails. Please feel free
to let me know if I came close to being accurate.)
