"Possibly the illusion of coincidence

I am 38 and dig both but doubt I would list Lou Reed as pivotal music
influence.

It may come with the forum but u have a point.

Cum hoc ergo propter hoc.

I observe patterns too but unifying theories are dangerous."
See, the reason I called it a coincidence is that I don't believe there
should be any relation between a person's musical and literary taste. If one
stops to think about it there are relations and patterns but it's all
generalization.
Is it an illusion of coincidence, then? I have thought of the whole shiny,
shiny, shiny boots of leather stuff, but thought it wasn't enough to make a
connection. Maybe the taste for the darker side of the 1960s explains it as
well...
