i still say the grammer is kind of jacked. maybe "Music is One Note
Rotten". i just really hate the word "Rotted". sounds out of place
anywhere. i guess he is just using it as verb, when it sounds better as
an ajective.

but that is not what he is trying to say. the "Note" isn't a unit of
messure. it is the original item that is being changed into the music.
