music

MUSIC is the art that comes closest to the Dionysian beauty in the sense of intoxication. No one can get really drunk on a novel or a painting but who can't help but to get drunk on Beethoven's Ninth, Joni Mitchells' Blue, or Charles Mingus' Mingus Ah Um?
Make no distinction between pop and classical. The distinction: just old fashioned and critical; its all a liberating force from loneliness, introversion, the dust of the library.
