Does music have to be difficult???Is easy music inauthentic? Or is
it just
music of "the masses"???Adorno, call your office...
haha, good reference there (i've just been reading about adorno in
relation to the masses in "the middle mind: why americans don't
think for themselves").
thing is, i'm not sure whether you mean "difficult" for the creator or
the listener. i was talking about the former, and you and adorno
seem to be talking about the latter.
