To quote you: "A passionate ideology that turns mindlessly aggressive becomes another cause to tune out." This is a very good description of a personality trait that I posses but my personality is not the subject here although I will elaborate a bit in a moment. I would like to explain that I share this quote to ensure you that your articles do require a moment of attention to complete and absorb whether I agree with your idea of the reality or perception of the subject or not. Now my recent love for understanding and learning music has become a passionate ideology, to use your term and I may be running off friends with this aggression to share the thrill even to the point of suggesting to friends that they subscribe to you emails to really learn music more in depth than an on-line instructor could teach. Even the mention of the word "theory" or a phrase like "you get the minor by simply flatting the third" can be so rejected by the target audience that I am leaning I have probably just too much passion for sharing my joy of discovery in music. Yes I do get "tuned out". I love your music writings with the learning ideas that REALLY WORK. Thank you Mr. Ed.
