I just love how people always feel they have to defend a certain kind of music by attacking an "opposite genre/composer" with ridiculous blanket statements. This is directed at QcC's Boulez bashing as well. Just because someone makes unfunded accusations against music you like, doesn't mean you have to do the same with the music you assume the other person likes. It wasn't Boulez who attacked Glass in this thread, so why even bring him up?
