Music and intelligence connection

[thesummerqueen]

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.

Interesting experiment, Summer. Let's give an IQ test to a symphony orchestra audience and compare it to a test given to fans at a wrestling match and see what the results are!

You might be surprised. Some people appreciate both. Entertainment is not always art, per se. I appreciate Keats and Poe and Homer (of the Greek persuasion, not Simpson) and still laugh my ass off at a fart joke.
