Sounds like an interesting idea for a newsgroup.  Of course, the only people
who subscribe would be those who haven't /listened/ to any new music in the
last ten years!  This would have to include people who listen to artists (?)
who rehash the same ideas (not their own) over and over again in large
stadiums to throngs of drugged-out admirers.

Seriously, now.  That would mean we couldn't discuss Bach or Beethoven or
other now deceased composers in this newsgroup. (What have Bach and Beethoven
done in the last five years?)  I didn't hear complaints about the flurry of
"orchestral gossip" articles, or calls that classical music discussions of this
nature move to another newsgroup ("Hey, man, like what's an orchestra? This is
supposed to be, like, a music newsgroup, man, like with guitars and drugs...")
Likewise, classical music lovers (with a great deal of patience and
perserverance) have not seen fit to complain about the rash (I count two) of
Grateful Dead related articles and the rash (I've lost count) of Heavy Metal/
New Wave/AOR related articles.  This is a music newsgroup, people. So let's use
it for its intended purpose--to discuss (all kinds) of music (EVEN the Grateful
Dead, OK, man?).						Rich
