>>I just don't get that music. Lots of people I admire do, so there's obviously something I'm missing.
Nah. Music is like art. Some people like bodily waste smeared on canvas. Or misogynous Rap. You don't have to like either, or the Pretenders. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
