Music that's better than sex, #2 in a series

[firecat]

Elsenet there was a thread where people were trying to explain to each other the appeal of certain unusual kinks. One of the explanations was "[x] and horniness are both very intense feelings and sometimes the wires get crossed."

That also explains why I feel the way I do about good rock guitar solos.

I don't think having such a reaction toward Prince needs an explanation.

Yeah, that’s why I said having this reaction to Prince doesn’t require an explanation. But I also have it to the music of Joe Satriani and other less pointedly erotic performers.

I'm sure we could find plenty of people who wrote about how music these days was all about sex and sexuality and temptation, regardless of what time period we're writing about, but I take your point.

Oh, certainly.

A wave of vulgar, filthy and suggestive music has inundated the land. Nothing but ragtime prevails, and the cake-walk with its obscene posturings, its lewd gestures....Our children, our young men and women, are continually exposed to its contiguity, to the monotonous attrition of this vulgarizing music. It is artistically and morally depressing and should be suppressed by press and pulpit. -- Musical Courier, 1899
