I want to think today about the effect music has on us. The old saw is pretty true that “Music soothes the savage beast”. Effects can be seen in the way we get lost in a song, or the way our mood can take a turn for the worse if we hear something we aren't a particularly fond of. Music has a way of penetrating all bounds, race, class, or gender. We respond to it on a sort of basic level, we may or may not think about...
