Just because ya do or don't like something is not a measure of snobbishness. However, when ya say shit like this or that music is better than this or that music just because you think so, then there's a problem. IMO, Mahler was one of the world's geniuses of music. I do not care who does or does not agree with me. Nor do I care who does or does not agree that Dylan is a great song writer. Nor do I care who does or does not agree that October Winds is a great song with a beautiful melody, or Silent Night or, or, or. These things are a matter of personal taste and not something I would wish to or would argue in public.

I like many pasta dishes. Some are better than others I suppose. But I also like Kraft Dinner on occasion, and I don't really care who does or doesn't like it. However, that's speaking for myself. If YOU came to supper, I'd find out what you like and cook that for you because then what YOU liked would be important to me.

I would not go into a trad club and sing because I know very little about trad or the music. I have heard some wonderful singers do great songs that I have enjoyed very much. I have also heard some who should have taken up needle point instead of their chosen art.

I dislike arrogance and people who decide what is good or bad. You don't like it, don't stay. Door's over there. That's what I suggest to snobs.
