And finally
Oct. 22nd, 2005 01:44 amThere's something to be said about the influence music has on us humans, and me personally. I'm not really a judgemental person -- I accept most people the way they are, with all their imperfections, and serious imperfections those might be.
However, I have to admit, I think of people without musical hearing, the "tone deaf", or, to use the Russian expression, "the ones who had a bear stop on their ears", as somewhat handicapped. I catch myself not understanding how can one be unable to hear the melody as played by a musician. I guess we all have our deficiencies, and God knows, being tone deaf is nowhere near the bottom of it, but I can't help it.
I hope to God my yet unborn children are not tone deaf -- it'll be a bad blow to me.
I'm a musical racist -- I discriminate (somewhat) on the basis of a person's musical capabilities.
Silly, yet such an arse I am.
