The first post is left to better writers:
"In comparison to signifying language, music is a language of a completely different type. Therein lies music's theological aspect. What music says is a proposition at once distinct and concealed. Its idea is the form of the name of God. It is demythologized prayer, freed from the magic of making anything happen, the human attempt, futile, as always, to name the name itself, not to communicate meanings."
-Theodor Adorno
"The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious."
-Lester Bangs
