i love music, but i think in today's culture that a truly great Movie, whether from the 30's or today, is incredibly powerful stuff. there's a thousand titles of pictures i can think of (maybe not offhand but, y'know) that have had caused me to think as deeply and as much as anything else.
Of course, when i PLAYED music with the band in high school and college,
i was almost in a trance-like state playing the good stuff (Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.) i could not get enough, and then of course the 60's music revolution and then my discovery of jazz was almost enough to make me seek a career in music, although i wasn't anywhere good enough. SO... I Had to go back and study my chemistry book instead....
