Music should be nice

I believe it was the Latvian magazine "Rīgas Laiks" that had an interview which mentioned that "Calling a musical piece "background music" is the worst insult of them all." Which is agreeable in a way, of course.

What worries me more is that some people completely ignore the possibilities that music can give us. Next week I'm playing with such people, who don't understand how the organization of a song should be done, but all my suggestions are waved away, "it's more about the feeling, it should come from the heart" no, fuck you, it can be done better, it could be done beautifully, and the public is partially to blame if they only require a bunch of kids on stage.
