The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature
Another book/author that needs a stronger editor. Some intriguing ideas, but unfocused, too many other things going on, lack of making the point clear.However, I'll love to have his iPod.The six songs/chapters:-- Friendship or War(What is it good for?)-- Joy or "Sometimes you feel like a nut"-- Comfort or "Before there was Prozac, there was you"-- Knowledge, or "I need to know"-- Religion, or "People get ready"-- Love, or "Bring 'em all in"The 6 songs that inspired him in 1975:1) Autobahn by Kraftwerk2) Beethoven's 6th 3) Revolver by the Beatles4) Through my sails by Neil Young w CSN5) The great gig in the sky by Pink Floyd6) Night and day by Stan GetzGreat song lists, and a website that allows you to sample the songs, keyed to the page numbers in the book.Good idea, could have been a lot better book.
