Whoa, dude, pretty harsh words. Learn some linguistics and get back to me on why Chomsky is what you say he is. In fact, since music is a language, hum me a few bars of your thesis. Far be it from me to defend Chomsy's linguistic theories, as I studied with one of his alienated grad students, but to listen to you talk about language is like listening to Bart Simpson scratch out Beethoven's 9th Symphony on a chalkboard. Go back to bird watching and leave language to linguists.



Ah! Zmjezhd, the quintessential modern man speaks.
And he says in effect...

Well, I don't know enough to know what Mister Chomsky is talking about but Mister Chomsky is so smart that I don't know what he is talking about.

Say Zmjezhd, can you or Faldage or any of you other manly Awad cats discuss the nature of music and language without your tart remarks?

Maybe not.
