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."
