Dear Bruce:
We ought to put our act on the road. Herewith a trial balloon. As I’ve said before, Mr. Dudley is a splendid writer, whose politics, while decidedly left of center, do not prevent me from enjoying his columns. (Nor is Stereophile bereft of conservatives.) But why this should matter to folks is beyond me. It’s a safe bet that no one reads Stereophile for its political content. What does Mr. Dudley say that you find so egregious?
Concerning JA&MF: I suspect their fevered columns were an overreaction, born of frustration, that the hobby they’ve given their lives to is not being accorded the recognition and respect they think it deserves. Indifference can be the ultimate insult for passionate types who find themselves in such circumstances.
Yes, there exists a highly insular group that thinks Manhattan and San Francisco represent an accurate U.S. demographic. Bernie Goldberg writes of an encounter he had with an exasperated native of Manhattan’s upper West Side. The poor fellow was lamenting another GOP presidential victory. Turning to Goldberg he asked, “How does this keep happening?! I don’t even know any conservatives!”
Wishing you and yours all the very best.
