Big Big Question

Not me, specifically. In fact, I’m not even interested in the answer, just the queries, to wit:

What are some of your favorite musical questions? Why?

What song(s) are you embarrassed that you listen to (and love)? Could be junk, top 40, misogynistic - it’s the idea that you’re repulsed by the fact that you love it.

Adolescence + funny feelings + music = potent associations between certain songs and the singularly emotionally tumultuous period known as teenagerdom.

What song or songs kick you suddenly back to middle/high school, to that girl or that boy or that dance or that night?

What’s the worst Earworm you’ve ever heard? Which one can’t you get out of your head? How long did it stick with you?

Is doing something repulsive well a valuable kind of art? What merit do you see (or not see) in refined, skillful ugliness in graphic art, music, writing? Does a mastery of something unpleasant make it more reprehensible, or subvert its reprehensibility, or both?

What piece of art (door wide open for what qualifies) has most struck you relevant to these questions? What has caught your eye, or makes your point?

On September 11, 2001 and the days immediately after, what songs did you find yourself playing?

Setting aside the pat answer of “because we can”, where does singing come from?  Why do we do it?  What’s the story with bursting into song?

Who is the Kevin Bacon of music? In other words, what prolific singer,
songwriter, producer or musician can be connected to most other people in the
music industry in 7 jumps or less? For simplicity’s sake, let’s limit ourselves
to persons on record as being credited on songs, records, etc.
