No, not unfounded at all! I've heard lots of James Brown, and called it the way
I hear it. I get bored. I didn't criticise his skill at songwriting, the
musicianship of his bands, his supreme funkiness, or anything else.

Well, I play in a moderately popular band in Australia. We've sold 6,000 copies
of our one album as yet. Not really in competition with JB! But honestly, do I
have to be as iconoclastic a musician as X before I can say I don't like them,
or even actually criticise them?
Here: I'm a classically trained cellist. I hereby declare that I find a large
amount of Mozart very boring (and some - the Requiem, the clarinet quintet, some
other bits - sublime). Am I out of line because I'm not a household name like
Wolfy is?

Nope. Comin' at ya loud and clear! Still no ducking.
