Can't understand the words? Also true of a great many songs from the 50's and 60's. It doesn't have a melody so it's not music. Then toss away Gene Krupa. As a bastion of my community I find it offense. That is exactly what art often should do. It should annoy you, challenge your assumptions, speak truth to power, show your least attractive attributes, A glamour shot is not art. Art can celebrate beauty but in its most powerful form it does not. Think Guernica.
