"Are you familiar with the music of everyone in the world, Clintion, and do you care?"

Not yet... but I'm working on it...   That's ONE of the things Mudcat IS good for... finding new music... some of it, I don't like and I dismiss... some of it I do like, and I keep...

"I can't keep up with the music I already know and like"
That's sad...

" We are too diverse a community"
No... we're too diverse and CLOSE-MINDED a community... most seem wrapped up in their own little world and show little if any desire to raise their eyes above their feet (I'm guilty of it too... especially when others go on and on about a festival that was WAY too far away for me to even care about... )

It's a world FULL of wonderful music... why listen to the same 20 CDs... the same 200 somgs your whole life?
