You tell us that it's ridiculous to compare Bach with the Spice Girls and Westlife, but you don't mind comparing him with yourself: Bach earned his living as an organist quite similiar to me earning my living as a singer, neither Myself or BACH produced our music for the SOLE PURPOSE OF MAKING LOADS OF MONEY.

I look forward to your first set of cantatas and your "48", Dick. I know you won't be doing them for money so I promise to chuck 50p in your hat...
