what is music to you?

is it a reflection of who you are? or you a reflection of what you listen to?

i heard a story once about a surgeon who was struck by lightning. he lived. a few weeks later he had a strong urge to listen to piano music. he had a dream he was listening to piano music that he had written himself. so, he took a few lessons and wrote the song he'd heard in his dream.

How odd is that?

There have been studies done that show that musical training increases the connectivity between both sides of the brain. Does this mean that teaching kids how to play music can make them smarter? I mean, just think of how structured music is and what that kind of training would prepare you for...

I dunno... just something to think about.

Mind you, I have no musical training and I'm a fucking genius.
