"It's commercial pop music."

Really?

And there was me listening to Loreena, watching her take the influences of Arab music, Spanish music, Irish, Scots and English music, and meld them altogether to create her own music.

Right, I'll write it out a hundred times then:

"Loreena McKennitt's music of beauty is nowt but commercial pop music."

Then, I shall spin round 10 times singing it...and still I won't believe a single word of what you tell me.

That is your belief, and you are entitled to it, just as you are entitled to like or dislike any music you hear, same with me.

Commercial Pop Music? - Pah! - 'Dante's Prayer'


And Diane, whilst I fully appreciate the National Trust wind up going on there, I think you should maybe know that the 'tat' that you talk of which is sold in their shops, raises millions of pounds for The National Trust in general.

They care for the land you talk of loving so much, the people you love, the heritage you love...

"28 castles, 215 houses and gardens, 150 museums, 127 factories and mines, 57 villages, 47 dovecotes, 25 medieval barns, 78 mills, 19 pubs, 12 lighthouses, 31 nature reserves, 704 miles of coastline and 600,000 acres of countryside....for ever, for everyone."

Maybe you should think on that, before you trash them again.
