My theory about The Shaggs

[DriveYourCarDownToTheSea]

I recently came up with a theory about The Shaggs - or more specifically, about the father who wrote their songs and made his daughters perform it. Could Austin Wiggins have had Musical Anhedonia? (look it up if you don't know what that is). From all accounts Wiggins was a really strange guy and I'm wondering if anhedonia could have been part of his strangeness? The songs on this album almost sound like they were composed by somebody who was incapable of understanding and appreciating music and derived no pleasure from it, so wrote some songs of what music sounded like to him. In other words, we're hearing what music sounds like to a person with Musical Anhedonia.
