Home Music Lane

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

Re: "Visiting many college campuses..."

Music has done what all of the arts seem to have done. They have become so esoteric that their appeal doesn't extend beyond the music department. Most people consider "modern architecture" (whatever that really means) to be coarse and tasteless. Needless to say, the architects themselves consider the masses to be ignorant, but limit their music consumption to some Rock variant. I have to assume that the music faculty has a similar view of modern architecture. Anyone want to place bets on poetry or sculpture?

The point is that the arts don't try to appeal to an educated audience like they used to. Their appeal generally remains limited to members of their own guild, and it's becoming more and more difficult to fill Carnegie Hall with underpaid musicians and Juiliard educated cab drivers.
