Redneck home security: Put a couple of wicker chairs on the front porch by the door. Make sure they are warn and tattered. On one of the chairs, put a few gun magazines, Near the chair, a huge dog water dish with "Killer" scrawled on it. On the door put a hand scrawled sign. "Hey Bubba. I went to the store to get some ammo. Don't go inside, killer has been acting real strange lately. He messed up the mailman pretty bad yesterday. Be back in a minute."

Play Me - Neil Diamond

I recall reading that in the early days, the Catholic church decided anything with a Tritone interval was "The Devil's Music". So that not only made diminished chords illegal, but also dominant 7ths. In my big sister's era, any form of Rock 'n Roll was "The Devil's Music." So I guess each generation decides which new genre is the devil's music. Is the Devil in the details? Notes ♫

I agree, but usually put it this way: There are two kinds of music; Music I like and music made for someone else's ears. And I don't know why I like what I like. I'm a rare sax player who doesn't care for almost all of what John Coltrane played. I can analyze it, and realize the absolute genius in what he did, but it just does not speak to me. I'm more of a Stan Getz or Stanley Turrentine appreciator. Bach, Brahms and Mozart are the same. I can see the genius, and how they changed music, but most of what they wrote doesn't move me. But much of what Dvorak, Shastakovitch, Suk, Prokofief, De Falla, Saint-Saëns, and Tchaikovsky wrote thrills me. I love Muddy Waters' music, but John Lee Hooker bores me. I could go on in genre after genre. I tried to figure out why I like what I like, and why what I don't like doesn't hold my interest, but eventually I gave up. I just like what I like.
