Thread Name: [Formerly BS:] Musical snobbery
Subject: RE: BS: Musical snobbery
no one says you have to like everything. But there are often virtues in music that you don't appreciate -its a bit like modern painting. It is an area of activity that someone has devoted their life to.

You may not get it. But it doesn't mean it is without substance and the artist is not deserving of a measure of respect.

How deep that measure is, is up to you. As the audience, you do the artist the courtesy of listening. How much courtesy he is entitled to, is also up to you.
