If you bit into a candied apple only to find it's an onion you'd probably have a difficult time getting the bad taste out of your mouth. Mr. Christiansen draws the comparison between these deceptive "candied apples" and music helping people learn how to discern the good from the bad. This empowers individuals to choose wisely, avoiding the pain associated with allowing negative influences into out lives that will be difficult to remove later. Excellent advise for all ages and circumstances.
