Seriously folks, let's get a grip. Music is where it's at! Here's my scientifically meaningful proposal for Ralph Sir Edward who lives in an outhouse, at least that's what his avatar looks like (no offense intended) and who's been posting here for so long his karma is off the chart.
A one-ee and a two-ee ... that's how Lawrence Welk started his band back in the dark ages. More musical sophisticates get beyond the 2/4 and 3/4 and 4/4 thing. Like, how about an odd-meter or two ?? 5/8 or 7/8 or alternating 3/4-6/8 with a 9/8 thrown in? Why is everyone so focused on contemplating what's up with the universe? Life is short and you're dead for a long time. Listen to music and chill out! Try something new! Forget the rolling stone-heads and the twangy gui-tar bands. How about some Igor Stravinsky or Ahmad Jamal? Or Steve Reich and Geri Allen.
You'll have to forgive me. I took all the math classes I could stand on the way to a degree in applied math. [burp] Hate to sound like a grouch, but debates about global warming I can get on CNN.
