I agree with this...but if music disappeared and I neither listened nor played I'd probably just be a little more bored until I diverted my energies elsewhere...like back to studio arts!
I don't think that my life would be that bad or change much without music, since I feel many alternatives probably exist for gaining some of what music can offer, such as a means of escape, celebrating life, mourning life, and feeling less alone in our a l o n e n e s s.
I'd still be left with the written word, so I'd be okay. I might swim more often, though, to make up for a lack of music. There's something about swimming that has always struck me as very musical, which is interesting since it is so silent and otherworldly under the water. Maybe the similarity is that swimming fills up the sense of touch in much the same way as music fills up the sense of hearing.
