Not at all, Darcy. I just don't write or play it myself, so excuse myself from intelligent discussion. I'm a huge fan of the whole hiphop and child-of-hiphop realm (rap, techno, etc.), and though I pretty much despised the 1980s pop, I have a pretty good collection of pop (the metagenre) from 1950-80 and 1990 onward. And the other perpendicular metagenre that cross pop and nonpop metagenres, i.e., jazz, is something I've been involved with as a student and listener since I was a teenager. >This is what groups like Alarm Will Sound, Eighth Blackbird, ethel, >Capital M, Anti-Social Music, and of course the Kronos Quartet have >done -- to varying degrees and with varying degrees of success. All excellent. Alarm and Anti-Social were both on our radio show, and Ethel commissioned my co-host David Gunn. We're there on all this. Points well made.
