If academic approbation meant anything . . .

. . . classical audiences would be hugely enjoying the hyper-serial style our academic composers have purveyed lo these many years.

Actual audiences formed a different opinion, and the "academic" style of composition lives on only in academia.

Now, before you go and start slinging disparaging names around for folks whose tastes differ from yours again, I ask you to consider: no matter what kind of music you adore, and no matter how legitimate or wise your reasons for adoring it are, there will be folks to can't bear it.

I urge you to learn to live with it. And I would urge those who would disparage the music you like to grant you your tastes as well. After all, it's only music.

BTW, thanks for the funk reference; I'll be on the lookout for it, so long as it isn't written from an "academic" perspective. ;-)
