it’s assumed that the folks who support fine music would be less likely to commit heinous crimes than the human flotsam that frequent a honky-tonk or a techno club

As cognitive scientist Daniel Levitin points out, too much confirmation—when something happens exactly as it did before—causes us to get bored and to tune out. Little variations keep us alert, as well as serving to draw attention to musical moments that are critical to the narrative.

Depending on where you hear it—in a concert hall or on the street—or what the intention is, the same piece of music could either be an annoying intrusion, abrasive and assaulting, or you could find yourself dancing to it.

Not the main theme of the book, but it’s the thing I paid special attention to: it is the only book I know that talks about music as a business from artist’s perspective with real problems and real numbers.

Besides that there is a little about this and that: history of music art, history of music industry, culture in general, about touring, hangout, clubs and a lot more. Very multifaceted book!
