I just saw an episode of "Entourage" which ended with "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones. That song, even now, is more exciting than anything on the radio. The fact that it wasn't a top ten hit, along with 25 or 30 other Ramones songs, still blows my mind. There's a primal magic there. As simple as it is, it reminds me of why I love music - why it still matters to me - and why I love the Ramones.
Although Kurt Vonnegut described himself as irreligious, a free thinker and a humanist, he once said:
"Music is, to me, proof of the existence of god. It is so extraordinarily full of magic, and in tough times of my life, I can listen to music and it makes such a difference."
