I just read this quote yesterday. A very good explanation of music's power and why I love it so, even if he is using it to explain why he does not trust music.

"Some rationalistic, or perhaps analytic, turn of mind in me rebels against being moved by a thing without knowing why I am thus affected and what it is that affects me."

Great quote, really gets it.

And it goes a long way to explain (and justify) my distrust of any utterance of that man.

Although, he might have a point about penis-envy...

Judging by the 66 pieces of Spam email I just cleared from my computer!!
