PS: I guess not only musicians, but all artists are more awake than most
non-artists. If you e.g. draw for children, you will give a drawn horse
human features by drawing the eyes in front of the head. A real horse
has got the eyes on the sides of the head, but usually nobody does
notice this "mistake". IOW to make music, to draw a picture, to write a
story, there is the need to care about nature, to reflect opinions etc..
