Music prohibited

Igros Moshe, (OC I #166) Question What is the prohibition of listening to music because of the destruction of the Temple? Answer It seems from the gemora (Gitten 7) that there is no distinction between instrumental music  and voice.  Rashi says the prohibition is at a feast. This is also the view of Tosfos as well as the Mishna in Sotah(48)


. ובימי ספירה יש לאסור בזמרא דמנא אף להמתירין.

    1. "so what" is a dismissive phrase, usually means the respondent is not interested in the statement he's heard.
      But I'm sure you are asking for the implication of what a great Gadol bYisrael has written...

      Yet how many bands make their money off of Jewish feasts?
