[ale] Good music software

[James Sumners]

I have been learning Live over the last month and can say with
certainty that Audacity is no substitute. The only thing that might
come close is LMMS[1], but it's still not quite the same. I really
don't think anything exists in the Linux environment that compares to
Live.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
