Frieghtdog says it right! And Ed, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm not saying anything is better or worse, I'm merely saying that critics should not approach it with the reverse attitude to the one you think you're getting.I expect from most people the attitude you say has been with us for a hundred years, but not from paid critics of artistic endeavour.I think we should all expect more from them, particularly a knowledge of time and place and context.
