How you can't see someone being inspired by this show is beyond me. You're stating that it's silly someone can be inspired musically by music, basically.
To that I insert a big  |
Respect and inspiration are two different things...
As a musician, I can respect people like Beethoven and Mozart while having no interest in picking up classical music at all, while at the same time, a neo-classical virtuoso like Randy Rhodes or Yngwie Malmsteen can inspire me to pick up guitar shredding...
I can respect the real life counterparts that do the musical performance and recording, but that doesn't mean I have to draw any musical inspiration from it, have any interest or intent in learning how to play K-On!'s type of music, nor do I have to even like the music at all...
