No it's not that difficult -- it's just not quantifiable. If it's chicken skin music, it's chicken skin music, and all the analysis don't mean shit. And try and be charitable with those for whom Mariah Carey or the Backstreet Boys is their chicken skin music. Most of them have never kicked a dog, been mean to a cripple, or ethnically cleansed a province -- they go to work, pay their taxes and hug their kids. And 'chicken skin' is like goosebumps, i.e. raising the hairs on your arms, in case you're not familiar with the term, or a finn, or something.
