The original quote is, I believe, "Writing about music is like dancing 
about 
architecture".  It's usual context is a rebuttal to (unfavorable, of 
course) 
music criticism or music journalism.  I've seen it credited to a number of 
people, from Martin Mull to Thelonious Monk, so I'm not sure who the 
original 
source actually is.
