muzzzzzic

music. an apple a day may keep the doctor away, but music keeps the shrinks at bay. have you ever been in a foreign country, or even among people whom you really don't have much to talk with, but the moment music comes up, whether its played or discussed, everyone has an opinion. it can be something as trivial as a washing powder jingle on the radio that can start a heated discussion. and the beauty of these arguments, if you can even call them that, is that they never turn truly ugly. you can hold a grudge against someone on the basis of their political opinions, but to truly despise someone on the grounds of music is bizarre. john mayer quite aptly said 'hit me with music, brutalise me with music'. the statements open to interpretation (and as my friend just said, relevance - he thinks its out of context here! but that just proves what i just said! people can disagree in an unparalleled cordial manner with music! im probably making a big deal about nothing, but for some reason this just struck while listening to john legend! go figure!)

Hey totally agree on the fact that music is a connecting link......you may not have anything to talk with some one, but music totally turns you on!!

Hope u have listened to Karunesh (esp The Global Spirit, first amongst his 3 volumes).
I could agree more with your views because of Karunesh.
