Newey's the Dead White Guys' #1 Fan and it blows his narrative.
Follow Ups:
JDaniels apparently hate classical music. Read his little post.
Who else uses the phrase "dead white guys"? And, what does it mean?
Rejecting a goodly portion of Western culture cause you're too dumb and lazy to understand it and learn it?
Yep.
Does that make Prince a 'dead black guy'? May we reject him in the same way as with 'dead white guys'?
And, all of this coming from JDaniels, a suburban, middle-to-upper-middle class white kid, now a grown man [well, nominally] who, nevertheless, still thinks and acts like a child. It's not his fault - I say that over half of the people I know or meet are like that. It's a symptom of our dumbed down age.
But, why's a guy who was as of yesterday tripping over himself trying to prove his classical music bonafides suddenly dismissing classical music as "DEAD WHITE GUYS"???
Well, besides the desire of rich ['reesh'] white suburban kids of a certain stripe to pretend that they're, you know, HEP and just as Black as any actual African-American [so painfully embarrising these people are - and I'm acquainted with a few such fools], Jiminy here wants to kiss up to the rockers here and proclaim that he's just as HEP as they are, and he has no part of that boring 'dead white guy' Klassiko crap.
No sir. Jiminy here's a hard core cRapper.
Besides that, he perceives rock and rollers and cool and strong, so he immediately wants to kiss their collective posterior.
I told you Jimimy doesn't know anything about classical music. Never heard of the sonata crisis, the modernist crisis, none of that.
Rock on, Jiminy. You're home with your homies.

in which your tiresome narrative comes first and reality second- is precisely why you need to read Fanaticus.I love the dead white guys, but when you use them as your calling card, or to prop up your self esteem, or as the basis of your identity, such behavior
minimizes and perverts their accomplishments far more quickly than Multiculturalism.

No.
It originated in the Urban Black ghetto, and indicated a contempt for, and a rejection of, Western culture, since that was mostly a property of white people.
Then, AFTER that, the 'intellectuals' to whom you refer adopted it as a deprication of their own society.
As has been so often the case, the larger, white society has absorbed, adopted, and made popular the expressions [large and small] of the African American community. The Sixties did a whole lot of that.

The 'dead white guys' surfaced from the Black community back in the 90s.
Your little book's much more recent then that.
Wrong again - AND you hate classical music. After all, it's mostly all Dead White Guy's music. Altho, there are notable Black classical composers. Ever hear of them, Jiminy?
Rock On

What a sad, sorry, lonely life.
It's like being a minor character in some bleak, second-rate, no-escape film noir, forever trapped in cellulose.
Even those bars you go to and waste your life in [which would make your mother very unhappy] are just an extension of the same daily hollowness.
