Not surprising at all. Our current society (99%) lacks the personal depth and intelligence, required, to understand both Classical & Jazz Music.
Are you in w/ the "in-crowd" (1%) ?

I liken America's culture to a closed city where the only restaurants are fast food.... Those who've never left the city would believe that a Whopper hamburger is at the high-end of culinary excellence.....
The people themselves aren't the problem, it's America's network media that hides quality music from the masses..... Most people don't know that the music even exists..... (I think the fact that most music presented being digitized doesn't help matters either.) If 100 Americans under age 40 were surveyed, I'd guess less than five would know who Miles Davis or Cannonball Adderley was......
& this exactly why you couldn't pay me enough to spend any time on
"Social Media" sites such as "Facetwit" (yeah I combined them).
I will also never knowingly go to Wikipedia for information (I'm too tempted to offer them worthwhile information to replace most of the nonsense they have to offer)
Someone should come out with a counter that records the Email addresses of those using these sites so that intelligent people can abuse them (the Wiki
users at least !)
I post on Twitter.... But try to stay clear of the rabble.... (Most of my "tweets" happen to be sports related.)
But you do avoid Wiki though,right ? Or as I like to call Wiki "Ripley's"
with a much lower credibility. At least there they gave you the choice to
"Believe it or not"I don't know,but I have a feeling "Ripley's" Mentally Challenged offspring
may have been the founders of Wikipedia. Better yet they may be descendants of "Murphy" but less positive !!!

and just tryin' to figure THAT out was making my brain hurt.

If you've read some of my posts here, tiresome as they may be to get through, ;), you know I'm with the "in crowd." I've never felt any need to limit myself to what everyone else listens to.
More importantly, I don't put arbitrary boundaries such as "genre" designations on what I might be interested in. Great music, in fact great art in general, rises above such things. Another poster here made that point very well not too long ago.
