Nope. Not really. I meant it the way Dave thinks I meant it...and it wasn't TOTALLY tongue-in-cheek. I truly believe that some people are incapable of creating music in the expressive way we've come to define as 'soul'. Maybe life has not yet unlocked that emotional vault. Or maybe they were just taught to keep those emotions in check ('don't cry at momma's funeral' or 'don't tear up when ol' Yellow gets shot'. Who knows? Oh, and it's a two-way thing, too. Not only can't they express it, they can't hear it either.
