There are two ideas about classical music that I hate, loathe and abominate: that this music is somehow “civilized” and that it’s somehow “relaxing.”
Somehow, classical music is what kids are supposed to listen to – if we want them to be responsible, sober and hardworking. Somehow, classical music is supposed to be the ultimate tranquilizer for the addled and the sleepless.

Yeah, my sentiments … but not my words. He uses bigger words! 🙂
