Re: Music as Medicine - I heard there was a secret chord
Absolutely shameless use of Leonard's lyrics to try to sell a book! 
However, I am not surprised that this author would stoop to such a level, because I started reading the previous book by him (This is your Brain on Music), but I couldn't stand him or his writing style. It was a very interesting subject matter, but he is a very annoying writer -- he acted like he was the only one who deeply understood music (and who felt that he had so much more experience with music than anyone else, because he used to play in a rock band and met a bunch of famous pop singers -- totally nauseating), while the rest of us should be honoured that he was enlightening us with his extraordinary wisdom. I hate being talked down to by vainglorious authors (or anyone else!).
A really excellent and wonderful book that probably covers similar ground to this new book is Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, by Oliver Sacks. I highly recommend it, esepcially for those who may be interested in some of the ways that music affects the brains of people suffering from various medical conditions.
