That's all I want - the willingness to be open and admit that something can be artistically valid in spite of ones preferences/likes/dislikes.
If only other people were so level-headed.

"Properly" is a purely psychological condition that you and you alone can impose on something. I don't care if you think it "proper" or not; I can accept that some people don't think it proper...what irks me is when people dismiss something as inferior or invalid simply because they don't like, don't understand, or outright fear it..
ANYWAY, I can see that you're not a mongoloid with a chip on his shoulder (unlike many pompous musical elitists around here), and I can understand your position. I hate getting dragged into this stuff, but I see so much pretentious posturing around here, I have to step in with a dose of reality every once in a while.
To the rest of you fools - take notes.
Continue on your merry way.
