Author	Topic: Music is the food of my soul

Philipp Oscar® Winner	Well, I just had a debate with my mother today about me spending too much money. I know her thoughts, because she is helping my out a lot, and I am greatful to her for that, although I am doing very well on my own. I told her that music was my food, and that I would rather have a new cd by Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams or Anton Bruckner than having something to eat(well, it was rather an extreme example, but that´s how I feel.). I really think, that if music were not existent, I would miss something very much. Over the last two or three years I have evolved in my musical understanding. Now it has become much more than a passion, it has become an obsession, a life threatening thing if it were not there. That´s what I tried to explain to my mother. And I hope she understood a little. Your thoughts? Philipp np: somewhere in time (barry)

Jeron Oscar® Winner	I had a similar conversation with my mother last year... she told me to get a life and a job while I'm at it. I love her so much. Jeron [Message edited by Jeron on 05-06-2002]

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	I don't know about you, but drink is the music of my soul. I often drink rather than spend money on food. Of course, when I do eat, soul food is my music, but that's another topic altogether.

That's the nice thing 'bout listening to music, you can do other things at the same time - like drink! Who could ask for anything more? Now the question arises, what scores go best with what drinks? A martini with 007 scores? Beer with sports scores? Whiskey with westerns? Hic!

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	I can't imagine living without music, either. I usually have a CD playing whenever I'm at home and not watching TV (not right now, but just because the CD finished a couple of minutes ago and I haven't yet decided what to play next ). But if you'd ask me, Philipp, I'd also tell you that you spend to much money on CDs. You don't even have the time to listen to them all! I usually get a lot of CDs, too, but I always try not to get too much. If I'd only want to listen to each of them once or twice, I wouldn't want to pay for them.

miss tonya Oscar® Nominee	My best friend literally has about 10,000 CDs; not all of it film music, but just about everything(With the OBVIOUS exceptions!) And I don't see how could EVER listen to them all!

John Prytz Oscar® Nominee	I too have a lot (in the thousands) of CDs (not all film music), and to cope with actually listening to them, getting value for the money spent, I pulled the plug on the TV set over fours ago - haven't missed it a bit. So, I can normally get through 2 to 4 CDs before going to work; another 4 to 6 after work; and usually a dozen or so on the weekends. Although much of what gets played tends to be the more recently bought stuff, I make a point of playing a least one of my older discs a day, usually more. As I said above, you can accomplish a lot of other things (reading, housework, just sitting back doing bugger-all, cooking, etc.) while listening to your CDs. It's a trade-off, but then most things in life involve setting lifestyle priorities.
