It is a mass language only in the same sense that its baseball slang is born of baseball players. That is, it is a language which is being molded by writers to do delicate things and yet be within the grasp of superficially educated people.

I first fell in love with music when I was a little boy. When I first heard music, I felt the beauty in it.

These things are what drew me in initially.
