Amen and hallelujah. The gripers and front-porch fetishizers in this thread are the really interesting phenomenon. Why do some lefties insist on wall-to-wall patrician gloom?

Is corporate crap-music promoted? Sure, but there's at least as much amazing stuff that was unimaginable 100 years ago. Music is one of the success stories of recent times, and we should celebrate, not castigate it. The body is buried elsewhere.
