Music and intelligence connection

I think that was the gist of Ben's post, it's merely a facet of intelligence. Though on an anecdotal level, the all of the genius level people I know, have also been brilliant musicians.

Every intelligent person I know has gained comfort in artistic expression in some capacity. I think it's 1) a relaxation thing and 2) an expression of their willingness to expand their brains in all directions. It's not limited to music.
