In response to randvax!david--

   No, I think you misread davidl's article. If he had only been saying that
contemporary popular music is not necessarily junk just because it's
contemporary popular music, I would have no complaints at all. But he wrote
(as well as I can remember it), "Reading some spots on a page put there by
somebody 400 years ago and making noise out of them is real? ...wake up." I
read this as an assertion that classical music is irrelevent because it's old,
and that is what I was responding to.

   How about it, tekig!davidl? Where are you? What did you mean?
