...and I think that is the actual situation most of us find ourselves in. We know what we like. The vehemence and the hurt expressed here is a result of some of us feeling, to a greater or a lesser extent, that we've been marginalized and/or backed into musical and aesthetic corners by louder, and momentarily more numerous voices. Liz has, seemingly, been aesthetically violated and she is angry. If those musical fluctuations in the personal paradigm along the time line translate to a loss, or a gain, of monetary or social status, that can make for hard feelings as well.

Change, and our reactions to those differences, is what this seems to be about.
