This reminds me of an incident a few years back. The Museum of Modern Art in New York did a major Andrew Wyeth show. There was a lot of commentary in the art world about whether this was appropriate ("The guy make money from calendars, after all!"). When the New York Times art critic reviewed the show he expressed great surprise at the quality of Wyeth's work. He actually said that he had never paid any attention to Wyeth because it never occured to him that anyone that popular could be any good (!!! mine).

I think it's important that new music be heard. There is a lot of it I really like. Personally, though, I couldn't take a steady diet of nothing but new music. I'm also really glad that I don't have to try to sell ad time on an "All Stockhausen- All the Time) radio station.
