I must be delusional because I SAID SO: MUSIC CAN BE ART. POP MUSIC
CAN BE ART. Nothing you say will convince me otherwise. Maybe you
see music as disposable garbage, but that's indicative of your
mentality, not mine.
You yourself have said -- many times -- "If I don't like it on
first listen, I will never like it." You are obviously possessed of
an extremely rigid musical mind, but, ya know, that's not always the
right mindset for everyone else. I thank God my musical mind isn't
so easily satisfied...
>>I still can't believe what a profoundly inane post you made.<<
And I can't believe how close-minded and, frankly, jaded you appear
to be.
Is it any wonder the music industry is collapsing while the actual
creation of music is exploding? I find that to be a delightful
paradox.
Lastly, I don't know Jaimie personally, and I stand in absolute AWE
with his contributions not only to the Canadian music encyclopedia,
but also to him being an indie-label guy with his own vision and his
own agenda. I mean no ill will towards you, Jaimie, and I respect
your opinions even if I'm not in agreement with 'em.
But I'll say it again: music can most definitely be written at a
level which is considered high art, even if I'm the only one who
feels that way.
