If the aims of music are more than the perpetuation of vanity and greed, the listener will know.
Art exists for reasons as old as human existence, and music, as an art form, invigorates the senses and the imagination.
It may be crass, exploitative, absurd, and pointless from time to time, but whatever its negative attributes, it can always be more than a sign of the times and a signal of despair and desperation.
It can symbolize, through sound, our higher ideals and most uplifting desires.
It can, and does, illuminate past, present, and future.
