i understand. i just never think of it that way cause i've had some *deep*
musical experiences while listening to am radio and classic rock (and i
don't even smoke pot), which to me has had an equally profound effect as
watching bergmann has. admittedly though, the line between what you would
call simple entertainment and substance is becoming sharper.
