computers, however lifeless, are tools, just as much as drumsticks
and K-Y jelly. emotions are fueled by minds, which can be profoundly
moved by stimuli as chilly and abstract as printed text.

odd to hear this assertion at a moment where electronic,
computer-driven music dominates dance clubs.
i think this epoch in music will go down like many others. It'll fall
from fashion, sound awful for awhile, only to sound fascinatingly 'of
its time' later on. (Ah! the music of the Pre-Nuclear Winter era!! so
charming -- you can almost hear the sunlight!) for those of us living
through the era, we can understand how it all fits together in a way
that will be unavailable to future generations. we can appreciate the
transient contributions of minor artists who will doubtless be
forgotten later. there's no reason to be cynical about music of
passing interest.
what the hell, it's good to be alive.
