    Great apes and music

    Amused by a headline on R4 news today; also reported here...........

    Researchers from the University of York gave chimpanzees at Edinburgh Zoo a 'jukebox' and found they were less likely to walk away from Mozart than Justin Bieber or Adele.

        I tend to find a heavy beat aggressive, and am often inclined to move away from it.

        Maybe I am in touch with my inner chimp?

            I suspect that what may turn at least some of them off is music in which one composer apes another.
