Knowing the words, but not the music
Knowing the words, but not the music
Many posters here have mentioned Ns/Ps who use music as their stock in trade. They make mix tapes, use pop songs, the whole bit.... and some of them are singers, like John Mayer.
What's bizarre in my case is that the ex-Psych professor lacked ANY musical sense. Music was a foreign language to him. He once talked about taking piano lessons, and my classmates joked that HIS poor teacher was probably frustrated with his utter lack of emotion.
I could talk to him about movies... but music. He'd vaguely talk about jazz and classical music, but not mention specific artists or genres. He'd look at me as if I were a freak when I told him that I'd listen to music when reading or writing papers. He once said that he didn't "understand" music.
Oliver Sacks recently did a book about music&neurology. Has anyone else encountered this?
