[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7965976, member: 19675"] Like a bad attorney, I’m arguing from facts not in evidence. 😁 Or more accurately, from anecdotes. I’ve personally seen/heard/read about too many people who interact with art and music purely from surfaces. One of my friends used to be in charge of decorating buildings for a major technology company. While they definitely wanted real art on display, he was given little guidance on content beyond it being pretty and matching the color scheme of the area in general. We acquired our first Seidler due to related circumstances- the prior owner was selling the art in a particular room because it no longer matched the furniture. And if you’ve read ANY music press, you’d see recording lamenting about how bad popular music has become, drawing contrasts between formulaic platinum selling albums and supremely talented musicians working day jobs just to make ends meet. One could argue that vapid pop tunes* churned out year after year by groups that are visually and sonically interchangeable actually speak to the souls of the people who buy their albums, but I find that harder to believe than they’re simply just enjoying a catchy beat. The most glaring example I ever encountered was when I tuned into an electronic music channel, and for the following 3 hours, every song included the same interrupted/accelerating rhythm break followed by some form of fanfare. It would be like turning to a blues channel and every song started with “I woke up in the mornin’...” * don’t get me wrong, I believe there IS such a thing as meaningful pop music. [/QUOTE]
