In Reply to: Atkinson Pandering to Objectivists? posted by bjh on May 20, 2006 at 09:03:57:
"No Guru, No Method, No Teacher"An unfortunate admission inasmuch as you promise us near the end of your post that "I won't insult anyone here by stating the obvious." Sloppy writing usually indicates sloppy thinking. Of course, it's entirely possible that your propensity for self-contradiction stems not from diminished intellect, but from a lack of resolve. In which case you would appear to possess all the willpower of a three-hundred-pound charter member of “Overeaters Anonymous.†JHYO
Seriously, instead of musing about the nefarious motivations of Mr. Atkinson vis-à -vis his Eico comments, perhaps a more revealing view of the journal's listening philosophy can be gleaned from “As We See It.†Wherein Jason V. Serinus notes that he was able to discover some defective tubes in his amp (immediately) because “I know the sounds of artists and instruments are capable of making at their best. I’ve accumulated a reservoir of sonic memories … Without it I’d be listening blind. {read: in ignorance} Which just may be what helps many who peddle distinctly colored and artificially hyped sound stay in business.â€
Another revealing snippet: “I might have proceeded as do an increasing number of Americans: clueless that what passes for music is nothing more than an aggregation of pitch, rhythm, noise and distortion.â€
