Hold on there bunky. I didn't intend any disrespect. I guess the absurdity
was general and not particular -- that quote has frequently come up. And
step back a bit -- isn't a quote that seems to argue against writing about
music, presented on a list that does nothing but, qualify as absurd?

Sure. They read SOS and Future Music etc. By 'technical detail' I guess I
wasn't talking about total music dweeb dissection -- more like descriptions
of the objective components of the music, like tempo, maybe some of the sounds
used, etc.

See my other post. Just turn it up so they can feel it. You explain things
so that people understand them, and luckily music is something you can
experience and enjoy without totally understanding it.
