Mimi Ezust: >I have stayed out of this as long as I could. I'm one of those folks >who think music is it's own thing, and doesn't need to "mean" anything >other than itself. It certainly doesn't have to, and it may be that it usually doesn't. But as long as I have been listening to it seriously I have been convinced that it can and sometimes does.
