[net.music.classical] Settling the JSB/KB controversy once and for all

rlr@pyuxd.UUCP (Rich Rosen) (08/08/85)

It's so simple.  Kate Bush is obviously the better and more important
composer because she's better looking.  By a long shot.  Bach was a
puffy old man who wore a powdered wig.  Kate Bush is, well, beyond
description by mere words.

Isn't that the proper basis for judging music?  I mean, Prince stinks
because he looks funny, right?  No need to even listen to his music
to make a judgment there.  Why bother?  It's so obvious.  And Michael
Jackson's music stinks because he's effeminate.  There, you didn't even
have to waste your time listening to the music and making a reasoned
decision about it!  On the other hand, Arnold Schoenberg's music is
great because of his unusual and interesting haircut.  Never mind
the way it sounds, that's irrelevant.  On the other other hand, the
Go-Go's are a bunch of girls from Los Angeles who dress funny, thus
their music is of no consequence (eh, Marcel?).  Why, this is as
easy as judging the quality of a piece of music by the types of instruments
used in playing it!  (It's a good thing nobody does that :-)

I am sure you will all want to thank me for this elegant and eloquent
solution to the "Bach/Bush" question.  You're welcome in advance.  :-)
