Hey Guys, I don't interpret it as a mere comparison; its an analogy.. times are different. Mozart was the best of his time and ARR is the best of ours. Media has popularized a phrase for describing ARR - "Mozart of the West". Does that not offend Mozart fans? I'm sure it does a little. Despite that it gained popularity in the media because it is difficult to convey the greatness of ARR without comparing it to something the audience is familiar with. I think this statement serves the same purpose.
