The same goes for sad music and depression. The blues beats down the blues every time.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3. Music surprises me more than most people do.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4. I like AC\/DC and Puccini \u2013 but not together.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5. The enormous amount of amazing musical talent in the world has convinced me that I have none.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6. I play the guitar (badly) despite the above.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7. Music is better than therapy or booze \u2013 costs less and there\u2019s no hangover.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8. Dancing is absolutely necessary.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>9. A live band beats an iPod.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>10. Without music, I\u2019d have to listen to myself think all the time \u2013 and thank heavens I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo Notes:<\/strong> Above is Ben Kline, playing trombone the other night at the Presidio Yacht Club with Cheap Therapy, a Marin-Sonoma rock band.
