I agree, I didn't actually say or mean that but my flippancy might have implied this meaning. Music is interesting because it is all about tuning in the real physical sense and not just the metaphysical sense. It is a harder one to categorize - but it is also at the same time a target rich environment for the manipulators.
I can sing a song about "shooting my bitch up", and it's only a song right - so that's ok is it? Modern music is often accompanied by video's that often border on (or actually are) pornographic. Lets get Dirrty eh?
HJ: My point is that your judgment about what are good and bad things to do is conditioned. You can learn to like (or dislike) things - ultimately it is a matter of consciousness tuning.
The problem with some of the "Entertainment" that is available today is that it leads to compulsive behaviors, consume your time, and distracts you from the "now", the truth of the moment and plugged well in to the "matrix" into which we have descended - led along in a way that avoids us realizing it by master tricksters.
Saying - its all about balance is somewhat correct in my view - but it is also about not making excuses for doing the escape work
Its all about your choice and your responsibility for that choice.

As far as 'equal temperament' @ A=440 tuning a piano player would have to either re-tune his piano or have multiple pianos to switch keys in 'just temperament'.

I dont understand what this means - what is temperament in this context?
