Very well put Mike! There is room for everything.   For the same reasons I've never cared for Ayn Rand because her philosophy seemed so cut and dry. Everything is not black and white. I think sometimes my posts sometimes seem as though I am am waffling, but I really believe there is room for both traditionalists and good singer-songwriters.   In my personal time I do listen to other styles of music, including the pop music that my daughter enjoys that has me scratching my head. We can learn from all types of music.
