POLLING POLLING POLLING...

All of us Bloggers love giving out or opinions, right? Well, I need all of your opinions for a paper I am doing on the Mozart Effect. I know you all know what this is, but in case you need a refresher, Wikipedia says:

~The Mozart effect can refer to:
1. A disputed set of research results that indicate that listening to certain kinds of complex music may induce a short-lived (fifteen minute) improvement on the performance of certain kinds of mental tasks known as "spatio-temporal reasoning;"
2. Popularized versions of the theory, which suggest that "listening to Mozart makes you smarter", or that early childhood exposure to classical music has a beneficial effect on mental development;
3. A trademark of Don Campbell, Inc. for a set of commercial recordings and related materials, which are claimed to harness the effect for a variety of purposes. Campbell defines the mark as "an inclusive term signifying the transformational powers of music in health, education, and well-being. It represents the general use of music to reduce stress, depression, or anxiety; induce relaxation or sleep; activate the body; and improve memory or awareness. Innovative and experimental uses of music and sound can improve listening disorders, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, autism, and other mental and physical disorders and injuries."~

Sound off! I know you all love music too...So, no excuses please.

Music? Yeah, it produces affects. For me, music is like drugs. I mean I can get the high of highes or I can mellow out into a pool of jello just through music. Examples....

Keith Green's "MY EYES ARE DRY"...everytime I hear this song I cry. Not bad cry, good cry.

BTO's "TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS"....to me that is a man's song. 4 Canadian's flayling away on guitars and drums....driving rhythm. It don't get no better than that.

I listen to classical music. Don't understand it, but I listen to it. My son, Josh, can play some classical stuff that will hurt your head....He's smart and classically well-informed.me?

I'm rock and roll/ singer/songwriter.....But music does improve my mental faculites..

I have seen similar studies about the plants. Also about food and water. What the Bleep Do We Know is a Movie based on these ideas.

Hey Mr. BE, I figure it would get multiple tattoos and star in its own home porn videos.
