He was basically a literary guy, and he could certainly turn a phrase - that's about all - Chris from Lafayette 14:49:27 02/27/21 (50)

Shosty is still here in 2021 too. nt - Rick W 10:45:37 03/1/21 (1)

LOL - one of them is certainly on a higher plane than the other! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 11:30:58 02/28/21 (0)

What do you expect from a music critic? - John N 10:14:37 02/28/21 (1)

Frankly, I would be scandalized if I experienced the same suspicions. . . - Chris from Lafayette 11:29:21 02/28/21 (0)

In other words... - tinear 19:04:08 02/27/21 (41)

Your words and conclusions, not mine - Chris from Lafayette 01:42:06 02/28/21 (40)

I look forward to your opinions. - tinear 05:58:35 02/28/21 (39)

"are the best critics artists?" - Analog Scott 11:40:27 02/28/21 (27)

Let's take music, then. Do you think 2 conductors would have similar views on 50 composers? Very - tinear 08:25:08 03/1/21 (2)

Me thinks you are conflating artistic insight with consensus - Analog Scott 00:12:24 03/2/21 (1)

That's EXACTLY what he always does - Chris from Lafayette 01:35:56 03/2/21 (0)

Hmm, quite a few great composers had negative views of each other's music. nt - Rick W 18:31:32 02/28/21 (14)

Fantastic quotes! They charmingly make my point, explicitly. nt - tinear 08:30:51 03/1/21 (3)

Yes - you've always been impressed by cleverness more than substance ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 11:53:55 03/1/21 (2)

Cast a stone, the hit dog barks. nt - tinear 15:05:43 03/1/21 (1)

The hit dog? - In your dreams [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 15:52:14 03/1/21 (0)

yup, Brahms and Tchaikovsky are "classic" examples - Analog Scott 22:46:22 02/28/21 (5)

I think we disagree on what "critic" means. Having an opinion does not a critic make. nt - tinear 08:31:58 03/1/21 (4)

what an ironic thing to say - Analog Scott 00:15:05 03/2/21 (0)

No - in your world, someone is not a critic unless. . . - Chris from Lafayette 11:29:08 03/1/21 (2)

No, just talent, Chris. That's far rarer than resources. nt - tinear 15:06:15 03/1/21 (1)

That said, if you can't write it doesn't matter.... - Ivan303 14:43:24 02/28/21 (7)

Most artists are reasonably literate - Analog Scott 16:51:13 02/28/21 (4)

Who cares to read "reasonably literate?" Not me! nt - tinear 08:33:08 03/1/21 (3)

tin INSISTS on cleverness too! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 11:55:45 03/1/21 (2)

Not at all. You're welcome here. nt - tinear 15:06:53 03/1/21 (1)

Oh dear - and now you fancy YOURSELF clever? That's kind of a bridge too far, tin! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 19:17:21 03/1/21 (0)

Hey, man - are you one of those. . . - Chris from Lafayette 15:05:57 02/28/21 (1)

The truth usually is... - Ivan303 17:22:54 02/28/21 (0)

Wow - well said, Scott! [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 12:17:27 02/28/21 (0)

You know, tin, over the years, I've noticed that you seem to be. . . - Chris from Lafayette 11:02:56 02/28/21 (10)

And I've noticed that some like to tear down the great, perhaps thinking that - tinear 10:24:57 03/1/21 (5)

Oh dear! Sorry to disturb your pantheon! ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 11:26:20 03/1/21 (4)

Seldom does one find such a perfect example of reductio ad absurdum. May I use it in the future as an example? - tinear 15:09:28 03/1/21 (3)

You certainly may! - especially since. . . - Chris from Lafayette 16:04:45 03/1/21 (2)

Wow - thank you, Zarlino! There's a peculiar type of personality. . . - Chris from Lafayette 19:12:16 03/1/21 (0)

With Shaw long gone.., - Ivan303 14:44:49 02/28/21 (3)

I suppose - I'll try to live up better to my responsibilities re this issue going forward! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 15:09:27 02/28/21 (2)
