QUOTE:
“The manner in which Americans consume music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, 
  or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie --it's consumed that way without 
  any regard for how and why it's made.”
AUTHOR:Frank Zappa
MEANING OF THE QUOTE:
“Many people don’t listen to music; they just hear it.”
