Notes from the Moishe House Beit Midrash: No More Music?

Our rabbis taught that something once happened. Something bad. So bad that there was never any more rejoicing, and never any more music. Or, never any songs. Or, not actually but songs with rowdy words. Or, songs with rude words that people sang at parties. Not just parties, but parties with dancing and wine. So...no more songs? No more parties? No more wine? What happened? What might have broken the world? And how should we mourn?
