Subject: Why Get Into Music?

This is all true. Among the people who went into music in order to
attract women we can count Duke Ellington (at least if Ellington's own
words are to be taken at face value).

Also on this subject, Robert A. Heinlein wrote in one of his later books
that all human activities are simply roundabout ways to meet sexual
partners. It is my opinion that this statement reflects Heinlein's own
preoccupations more than Revealed Truth. (It's pretty obvious that
Heinlein wasn't thinking about much of anything else by the end of his
career.) However, it's worth considering how much of the statement is
true. If it's good enough reason for Ellington . . .
