Subject: RE: BS: anger - addictive?
I would second Liz' suggestion of the Mozart Requiem to defuse anger. In fact any singing seems to do it--especially aggressive singing---as in virtually all Sacred Harp. The words in Sacred Harp also sometimes help--"On slippery rocks I see them stand while fiery billows roll below". Then there are also lots of "it's your fault (not mine)" songs to sing--lots of blues and country and some rock--as in "You're No Good" or "Won't Get Fooled Again".

And lots of instrumental classical music which is incredibly therapeutic. I was just writing a posting to try (again) to straighten out Teribus-- and the Bruch Scottish Fantasy came on the internet radio station I was listening to. No way you can not be uplifted by that one. Teribus fades into insignificance.
