I once had the misfortune to sit next to some Berklee School artwank at a
Dick Dale gig who was constantly announcing the time
signatures. Blecch. What a way to ruin a good music groove while
quantifying it, at least publicly. Maybe he was just used to justifying
his surf fetish as "difficult music" to the other artwanks.
I tell my husband that if he wants to count the time signatures, he should
watch how fast my butt moves to the beat. Suits us both.

"That's absurd," objected Milo, whose head was spinning from all the
numbers and questions.
"That may be true," the Dodecahedron acknowledged, "but it's completely
accurate, and as long as the answer is right, who cares if the question is
wrong? If you want sense, you'll have to make it yourself!"
