David has his pulse on my inner thoughts.

Usefulness? That's a whole other can of worms.  I haven't given it any
thought.  But, I'm thinking about it now, and I now know why I wasn't.  I
simply don't care.  Everything's fine as it is.  Most humans have a similar
notion/feeling of what constitutes music.  Dictionaries have definitions of
music.  Schools provide definitions of music.  And with all that, any
individual can and may possess any definition desired/felt.  I think it
all works out very well.
