from Sarah Vowell's RADIO ON:
"Music doesn't cause my grief- sometimes, it's the only thing that saves me, offers perfect moments of relief. Of course there's bad music- deadweights of malice or mediocrity or lack of passion. But bad music doesn't make me grieve, it only makes me angry, which can be a creative, productive experience..."
