While reading Jordan's post about the Shakira video, I thought I'd share my own story. Last week was an unusually hellish one for me and after coming home from work on Friday, the only thing I wanted to do was bake. (I know, it's oddly feminine and stereotypical, but baking is therepeutic for me. Besides, I didn't have money for a father's day gift). Well, I ended up dropping the egg carton and destroying any hope I had for a stress free evening. After cleaning about a dozen broken eggs from my kitchen floor, I turned on my computer and lo and behold, discovered that the bonnaroo festival was being streamed live! Tom Petty is by far my favorite performer and there he was, performing for me in my living room (the internet rocks!). And I have to say my stress just melted away. So here's to music and the calming effect it brings to any situation.

“These instruments can teach, they can illuminate, and yes, they can even inspire; but they can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use them towards those ends. … Otherwise,they’re merely wires and lights in a box.” — Edward R. Murrow, October 15, 1958
