Aesthetics as it Pertains to Contemporary Music

You can approach things however you see fit but if you can't intrinsically enjoy a good popular melody or solid guitar hook that's a deficiency so profound it might as well be called aesthetic autism. I don't care how well you know and appreciate Beethoven's late string quartets or the complexity of atonal 20th C music or whatever. You don't need to read a book about it. You need a case of Budweiser and a copy of Back in Black. Play it loud, keep drinking until you get it, then go have a no condom one night stand. Snort some coke if you have to. You can't learn how to have a good time by reading about it.
