[QUOTE="Hipparion, post: 457081, member: 7324"] I guess [USER=7201]@Pete Effamy[/USER] 's infernal post (with an impossible choice) influenced me towards a Styron reference... and you weren't. ;) With respect to the original question, my answer would be a double yes. On a personal note it helps me keep being in the moment, which is exactly what I need these days (months ? years ?) to counteract some effects of my predominant analytical mind. But more generally I think music (whether played or listened to) is very good for the individual, and everyone should be exposed to it (in a meaningful sampling of its diversity) and have the opportunity to try and play some instrument within a group. As always excess and constraints will bring their lot of disturbance, but that applies for anything. As a side note, the timing for this question is quite funny to me since I am reading, slowly but surely, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicophilia']O. Sacks' Musicophilia[/URL], which is dealing precisely about that. I am not far in the book, but I would already recommend it... [/QUOTE]
