If having fun, making others feel better, communicating a message in a meaningful way and producing audio waves pleasing to the ear is a waste of time; I'll waste my goddamn time all day. Music has been very useful in my life and I wouldn't be the same person without it. While I might not be somewhat good at the clarinet, I still pick it up because I can make people smile with it.RAKtheUndead said:I don't play a musical instrument at all, and I'm not about to start. I'm more interested in learning about things which i) might someday become useful and ii) that I might actually be somewhat good at. The learning of a musical instrument does not fill either of these categories, therefore it would be an utter waste of time even beyond my normal wastes of time. At least when I waste time looking up Wikipedia, I sometimes learn something useful.
So yeah, I play the clarinet poorly. I won't be get richer monetarily but I'm richer in the soul for it.
No musician should go anywhere without hard work. I'm too lazy to but if I really wanted to, I could pursue it and someday play in an orchestra.
Bah, music rocks, cynics can go back into their hole and be "productive".
