It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

As If

Yeah, right.

Put up or shut up? Ha Ha Ha. Yeah, that's one step away from Putin's KGB-styled Russia, where it's "Put up AND shut up". Or, get shot like a dog in the streets, even steps away from the Kremlin. No worries - the Chechen's did it!

I didn't see any of these sour, pissed off responses to JDaniels's Beethoven One post, where he mercilessly panned Solti [and he was completely off-base - you want "joyless" and "hard driven"? Kocsis, Morris, Bruggen, and most of the HIPs are the very embodiment of that; I'll have more detail in my next post in this series [5 of 6, or 5 of 7, or who knows?].

I know what your problem is here. You and the other guy. If I'd had nothing but praise for HIPs, you guys would be pleased as punch; thigh-slapping happy, sagely head-nodding agreement solid. Solid, bro.

Even worse, it not just that I didn't like the HIP-styled Kocsis performance - that's bad enough. But - it WHAT I SPECIFICALLY said about it and the HIPs that really twisted the knife - didn't it?

THAT was the stinger. And, why? Why? Cause what I said was so stingingly true. Among HIP listeners, HIP acquired "truths" and conclusions are unquestionable. That's exactly the way cults and various political movements operate. Am I suggesting the the HIP movement's a cult? Oooooo. Is that offensive? Will you demand that I be banned?

Besides forbidding independent thought among your students with your 'put up - shut up" dictum, did you also punish diverse opinions? Diversity is the keyword of the day, you know.
