What utter horse manure. Is Rick Astley of equal quality to Mozart just
because some people like it? Not all people's tastes are equal.
Doesn't "equal" rather suggest something measurable? I don't think
that's possible.
Because a person is capable of appreciating things on what they might
term a "higher plane" should not mean they can't also enjoy something
more trivial. This can apply to almost any field, can't it? If you're
appreciative of the best haute cuisine around, can't you enjoy your
fish'n'chips occasionally? Can't you enjoy Shakespeare _and_ The Bill
(or Buffy)? Does the ability and sensitivity and - I dunno, "soul"? -
to appreciate Mozart and Rautavaara make it impossible for you to find
that piece fun and to play it a second time? (I just did)
FWIW I used to like Rick Astley, but it's not a value judgement, and
it didn't minimise my respect for Mozart and Rautavaara et al. What's
he doing now? (Rick Astley, not Al)
