Point being that so-called "Easy Listening" (an actual radio category at one
time?!) was music carefully designed to offend as few listeners as possible,
while NOT inspiring any of its hearers...?! It is effectively music stripped 
of
any emotional content...and the latter is and always has been the primary
purpose of its existence...?!
