Apparently if you have a serious lung infection, listening to Bach will boost your immune system, make you less tense, happier, and more fatigued. No surprise on that last one.

The authors of this paper claim that most people can carry a tune. *Insert lame American Idol joke here*
Ah, the castrato. Nothing like cutting a dude's balls off just so he can sing really high.

Get it? Instead of sex, they said sax! Unsafe sax! Ho ho! Sax, as in a saxophone, because they are jazz musicians! So funny! Ha ha!

Newsflash - the use of illegal drugs and alcohol is commonplace at rock concerts. Blows the mind, don't it? I'm so glad that someone wrote a paper on this finding! Also, they selected concerts by Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, and the Rolling Stones, so I believe aging boomer is a confounding variable.

Bach is still cool!
I was in a chamber orchestra playing the 'vivace' movement from his double violin concerto in d minor (http://magnatunes.com/artists/albums/lara-bach/hifi_play [Track 7]) on cello, and it was much cooler than anything modern. Metallica and Britney Spears can go suck on that.
I will admit that some of Bach's stuff can be slow, but the majority of it is really cool stuff (e.g., the Kunst der Fuege series, most of the concertos, and the Six Solo Cello Suites).

Curious as to why there are no studies on drug and alcohol use at symphonies. Those are the craziest.

Ah, Christmas BMJs. Gotta love 'em. :)
(mind you, putting such articles here is like publishing articles from AIR. They're ha-ha only-serious, y'know.)
