    Go back 16 years and it was just as tulipe. Popular music is for teenage girls, homosexuals and morons.
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              Getting back to the original topic, I wonder if the "State of Music Today" was the same in 1778.

              Imagine the scene.

              Paris, June, 1778.

              Mozart performs Symphony in D, "Paris", a symphony for the opening of the Concert Spirituel. It was performed on Corpus Christi day with great applause, and there was a notice about it in the Courrier de L'Europe.

              "The audience were quite carried away" by the performance according to the article.

              Meanwhile, other papers report that "This young and pretentious popster, this enfant terrible of the noise pollution so endemic of todays populist culture, strides vandal-like across the traditions of musical sensibility."

              In an edition of "Le Monde", a writer by the name of "Le RateWhore" bemoans the state of music today, and says "Whatever happened to 12th Century Polyphonie Aquitaine du XIIe siècle - St-Martial de Limoges : Extraits des matines de Noël
              ? In this repertory, not only is pitch notation more explicit, but the music presents an identifiably mature technique with a rich command of sonority. This Mozart is, quite frankly, all this is wrong with modern day music."

              Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              C.S. Lewis
