Sure...idiots need dance music too! Isn't that what they used to say about disco, that it had a beat even white people could dance to? No wonder he (Mills) spends so much time in Germany. But even putting that aside and looking at the notion of "anti human music," if you accept the theory that what makes humans humans is that they can think and reason and move their thumbs independently of the rest of their fingers, well, I'm sure you can do the algebra. eric, wishing the library carried LeRoi Jones' "Blues People"
