not really. this was on a classical music forum (and, in fact, i was trying to figure out where the minimalists like Reich fit into the genre and get some discussion going on how the labels the future uses to describe the music of our time will be different from the marketing-based labels we use today).

he's just a product of commercialism that has never really thought about music in any other terms than "i buy what i think is good, and if i'm not buying it, it must not be good".

its much the same dopey commentary Fripp writes about, about how because the audience pays, the audience should get what was expected.
