Re: The idea that if an audience don't get "the point" of something, it's got to be the fault of the person making the point. Well, this is a complex question; for example, my experience of hearing a particular piece of music could be a totally different experience than the person sitting next to me. Take Flamenco music. I have studied flamenco music for a number of years, and when I hear a flamenco piece I can know understand and enjoy it on a level that an uninitiated listener could not. It's like the wise crack " there are only two Irish folk tunes, a fast one and a slow one". Who would agree with that sentiment? I was going on to make another point here but...I'll use that as a new thread.
