Phil, you sound bitter. Didn't you find those exchanges "stimulating?"BTW, I hate being misquoted. I never said music other than classical was trash, I said it was lesser music and if it weren't for classical music, the time money and effort to develop the technology of high fidelity sound reproduction wouldn't have been worth it. And I'll stick with that opinion. That doesn't mean I don't like some of it very much as well, I've been listening to a lot of jazz lately. I also love hot dogs, pizza, and cold beer. But they're not the same as a well aged strip steak grilled to perfection and a bottle of fine mature classified Bordeaux from a great vintage.
