I would imagine that most of us have spent our hard earned dollars on our equipment to try and increase our emotional connection to the music we love.
From my perspective, I tend to spin music from genres where the lyrics require minimal processing from my brain (blues) or where there are no lyrics (jazz instrumentals).
While artists such as Bob Dylan and many of the other great "wordsmiths" are obviously a valid way for people to get an emotional hook into their music, for me... I want to process my music with the least amount of effort.
Minimal effort = maximum relaxation.
We all spend vast amounts of our daily lives processing information to extract their meaning and context (emails, conversations, newspapers, television, even driving)
