I don't understand people who use famous pieces of music as the ringing sound on their cell phone.

What makes you say, "Gee, I really like this song. I think it is a brilliant piece of music. I have great respect and reverence for the genius who wrote this splendid piece of art.....In fact, I like it so much that I want to listen to the first eight seconds of it forty-seven times a day in bad digitized sound."?

That's like saying, "Hey, I really love Shakespeare. One of the best writers of all time. So I was thinking that I'd like to see 'Macbeth' performed nineteen times a day by the Muppets."

Which, in retrospect, isn't such a bad idea.
