Summary

This quote, often attributed to George Bernard Shaw, suggests that in the realm of hell, there is an abundance of individuals who are unskilled in music. It essentially insinuates that those in hell lack the ability to appreciate or create good music. By describing music as the "brandy of the damned," the quote implies that music holds a high value and is reserved for the virtuous or talented individuals who reside in heaven, contrasting the lack thereof in hell.

It's a curious thing in American life that the most abject nonsense will be excused if the utterer can claim the sanction of religion. A country which forbids an established church by law is prey to any denomination. The best that can be said is that this is pluralism of a kind.
