Lines: 22 OK music aficionados, what do you think of the following proposition: One's reaction to a given album/song/group is determined more by what one has heard or read about the album/song/group than by the actual music itself. To what extent do you agree or disagree, and why. Examples to consider: A friend tells you group xyz is great. You pay more attention when xyz is played on the radio, at a party, etc. You become familiar with their music, and even grow to like it. You become aware that group xyz is "in". (ditto) Substitute "lousy", "out" in above examples. -- Steve Harris | {allegra|ihnp4|cbosgd|ima|genrad|amd|harvard}!\ Pixel Systems Inc. | wjh12!pixel!vsh 300 Wildwood Street | Woburn, MA 01801 | 617-933-7735 x2314
