In Mr. Janzen's otherwise excellent article, I found a few things I
couldn't let go by without comment -

>	New music listeners are helping prepare 
>	themselves for the coming changes in their lives, and also
>	accustom themselves to change (they are better
>	at living with uncertainty).  

And, of course, they *never* make a fetish of newness.

>	I have said elsewhere that old classics listeners use classics
>	to define themselves to themselves and others as members of an
>	educated, privileged class.

Right! Taking pleasure in the sound is irrelevant. :-)

Just think of the poor listener who likes both new music and old classics.
He must be terribly confused!  :-)
