To Larry Ciesla:
I know this is a tired response, but Beethoven, Verdi, and Stravinsky
(and probably everybody else except Pat Boone) were all accused by their
contemporaries of creating noisy garbage unbearable to human ears. Not that
I'm necessarily disagreeing with your point... But pleasantness IS quite
subjective, so I wouldn't be surprised if a hundred years from now the
prevailing wisdom were that Jackson Pollack had painted something pretty!
