IS MUSIC A NECESSITY IN YOUR LIFE?

[+] ballot by FiddleFaddleOnLSD
created Thu Oct 13, 05

In the book "The Singing Neanderthals (the origins of music, language, mind and body), Steven Mitchen makes several points:
1. Music is an intrinsic part of our life, that Neanderthals may not have spoken language but were able to communicate via hmmms and song-like vocals.
2. The beginnings of speech in humans, as with a baby are more song-like than speech.
3. We attribute (often great) emotion to instrumental music.
4. Music can bring forth emotion and many memories, etc

The book is really too complex to describe here, but it seems to me that music is an integral part of nearly every human's life.

What do you think?

Being a DJ, I'd say it was a necessity in my life. :o)

Don't think I could manage even one day without music. I listen to it as I surf the 'Net, as I write, as I eat. Tried it while sleeping, but I got tangled up in my headphone cables, dang near killed myself.

Cool. I love music and I also am interested in anthropology A LOT. I'm listening to music now. I should check out that book.

I've gone to sleep with music playing and the songs were playing in my dream.

Music is first before everything :) except maybe Cats.. I hope I never have to pick one or the other.
