Its sort of like me saying that I think that all music by the composer Prokofiev (English spelling) is crap. I don't like most of his music, (except perhaps for his Romeo and Juliet ballet score which I have performed dozens of times), but it is still great music. It's just not to this 40 year career major orchestra musician's taste.. But for me to dismiss his music as unworthy and useless just due to my small personal bias against his idea of musical form and harmonic usage, highlights me as an ignorant and arrogant fool, rather than somewhat who agrees that to many, the music of Sergei Prokofiev is beautiful...just not to my ears.
Hey Beethoven - First off, reread what I wrote. I didn't say it was useless. If it gets you from point A to point B, no vehicle is useless. It's a hideous looking Truck, Car, SAV, SUV, blah, blah, blah. It reminds me of the Pontiac Aztec. I'm glad I don't see more of them on the road. Maybe you should lower the music so you can open up your ears and your eyes.
