Let's not disagree anymore, friends. There is clearly too much cleavage on this forum.
 

I'd NEVER want to wear those glasses.
I'd get killed when it became obvious that I was ogling chicks in the audience!

Hi.
 
There was a film called "Looker" that was written and directed by Michael Crichton, and had a pretty interesting cast, and the whole thing was about ... the eyes ... and what it followed and in one sequence, it broke down a commercial and where the watcher's eyes were ... and yeah, you have to see that film to realize how much you are "indoctrinated" into what you are seeing, and it was a dead giveaway, that MTV was going to become a place where music mattered a lot less than the skin it showed and how.
 
Try to find that film ... it was a really strong one, but I think, in the end, that the film itself, helped usher something onto our screens, that in some ways, we did not want ... but it's what we got.
 
Movies, today, specially Hollywood, still do this and work on your ability to get sidetracked attention, to make it look like it's actually sexier than it really is.

I almost always play with eyes closed

You told us once about a gig you had where the audience was a swingers club.  Keep your eyes closed for that one?

I did rehearsals blind folded for the actors, and the result was ... that your ears perk up a bit more and you can (eventually) find the location of the voice (tested it several times) and you know how to move. It's actually a very handy tool to learn to use, as it has the upside of teaching you how to work with the set pieces a lot more, than you might otherwise, when you kind of ignore the table and the chair next to you.
 
For music, I can't really say, but I would imagine that it enhances the listening ... and you can always look at any blind music player and they are always very sharp on the listening side of things, specially in music. Rachel Flowers comes to mind ... and seeing her play with an orchestra, do a piano solo, or with ZpZ, kinda changes this game some ... and even she does not explain it well at all, in her interviews ... I think people are intimidated into asking her about the "blindness" and how she sees music. I would think it is too facile and weird to just think of it as a sort of mathematics, but something else is in there when she does as much as she does ... at least you knew that Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and others, kinda did the same thing nicely, but Rachel has taken that to a different stage altogether.
 
Just go listen to her complete piano version of TARKUS ... it becomes one of the great compositions for piano, and even makes folks like Keith Jarrett look a bit repetitive, and mechanical.
