Mr. Grantges' view of the musical universe is, of course, not quite so
highly restricted.  *He* likes ALL real music, whatever he doesn't like
is thus clearly defined as junk.  Which is why no one should get to do
the sort of broad bogus classifying he proposes.

(Snobs?  We're not snobs.  Ugggh, Hector, a rock musician!!  Call the police!)
(Who then say: "Doan stann so close to me!")

(Note that I've removed net.audio from the list of groups to which this
is sent, while adding net.music.classical; after all if the proponents of
a split can fill up net.music...)
