Subj: Music therapy Is there 'good' and 'bad' music? Who decides what's good and bad? Some sort of authority? Do we agree who they are? Does being popular make a piece good? Does lasting a long time make a piece good? Does making a lot of money make a piece good? Who set up these criteria? Did they consult you? What is gained by labeling a piece 'good' or 'bad'? Once you know a piece is 'good', what do you know? Is it comforting to like 'good' music? Do you like any 'bad' music? How does that make you feel? Have you ever argued with anyone about whether a piece, group, composer, etc., is 'good' or 'bad'? How often do you succeed in convincing them? How do you account for that? - Karl Malik Mail address : ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!galaxy!malik ------------------------------------------- End Forwarded Message Wed 30-Nov-1983 15:36 EST
