Did you know that . . . Carrying a musical instrument makes you more attractive? Music can cure insomnia? Music can change the taste of wine? The Mozart effect has nothing to do with Mozart? Barry Manilow songs can be used for crowd control?

Why does music affect you so profoundly? It impacts the way you think, talk, feel, behave and even spend money.
