Yeah, I don't say I *like* all music -- and, Rick, I have no tolerance for "easy listening." It makes my teeth itch. Probably because it isn't *about" anything. I feel the same way about a lot of "New Age" music. It's just so saccharine.

And the rap and heavy metal genres are certainly not what I'd choose to spend time listening to. But I do think they're worth listening to for the messages they're sending out from and by the ones who DO listen to them steadily.

Really sorry about your migraines, Mr. Fielding. Any let-up? My daughter has 'em and I know they're simply miserable.
