Trent Reznor on Music in Culture

Reznor then clarified, "I'm not saying that as an old man yelling at clouds, but as a music lover who grew up where music was the main thing." Concluding, he added, "Music [now] feels largely relegated to something that happens in the background or while you're doing something else. That's a long, bitter story."

This is one reason I keep thinking of blogging a lot more about music. It would be amazing if we could find a way to again center our culture on music. The arts in general, but especially music. I want to read more music reviews, more interviews with musicians. Music is life for me. Sure, I often listen while I'm doing something else, but I also do a lot of active listening, too.
