Here we go again on the "folk Musis is soooooo superior" Rant. Good music is goos music...period. I have heard some excellent music played by "non-improvisational" jazz musicians. I have also heard musically horrid versions of wonderful songs done by so-call traditional singers....as for Celine Dion..I am not a fan of that kind of music, but I will say this for her she is great singer because all of her heart and soul goes into what she does...and that is what all music is about. It is not about any narrow definition of what we like, it is about joy, and heart. These elements span all types of music> The "pure" music arguement denies this and in so doing renders itself peurile and sophmoric. Live and let live.
