[Mind's Eye] Re: Music & Emotion

Music is also a political, military, cultural tool. Richard Strauss is
fantastic but associated with Nazis, henpecked by his wife and stingy
with his orchestra- even cheating them. The eye and ear directly
affect the brain in proportion to sensitivity or understanding so some
seem immune to the effects which are tuned out. It is a shame that
public education has cut music and art from the curriculum.
