Yes, because I am unutterably bored with having to explain to dumbed-down (insert word of choice preferably beginning with 'w') who don't know (or pretend not to know) Young Hunting.

As I said somewhere a kazillion posts back, it is surely a tad condescending to assume your audience is incapable of assimilating anything other than PPM (or Engelbert Humperdinck) so dishing out MOR 'good-enough-for-f*lk' crap will do . Doesn't say much for your own artistic integrity either. The 'proletariat' is perfectly capable of living along with and inside a big ballad, provided it is performed excellently and you don't destroy your case before the first note by describing it with that terminally damaged term 'f*lk' music. Unless, of course, you're doing it in a past-sell-by 'f*lk' club, where you're preaching to the converted anyway in the same anachronistic way as spouting hell-fire in the orangemost depths of the Six Counties.
