But, some music is pretty much mood dependent. For those albums, I feel it is better to be able to judge it while in the like mood. Other music is either intellectually stimulating, humorous. But admit it when I'm a little bit upset. The darker music can really help you find the direction you choose to take. Jim ---------------------- Keith Mears wrote: > *Which is why I fall into the 1%.

That sucks... > -- A famous Lisp Hacker noticed an Undergraduate sitting in front of a Xerox 1108, trying to edit a complex Klone network via a browser. Wanting to help, the Hacker clicked one of the nodes in the network with the mouse, and asked "what do you see?" Very earnestly, the Undergraduate replied "I see a cursor." The Hacker then quickly pressed the boot toggle at the back of the keyboard, while simultaneously hitting the Undergraduate over the head with a thick Interlisp Manual.
