I just had the thought: that in the arts or specifically in music, greater commerce rules in the market place, and what is known on the mass level; so the true arts or music in this case don't really have all that we would assume they should in the marketing processes; and maybe not much is known about them on the mass level as the false arts are probably more capable of covering several or more market places on the mass level not being of a pure artform, and thus covering more territory. That is they are of more specific marketplaces. It's sad but true, that the marketplace is more than likely to be what the majority of people rely on to learn about music these days, and what can sell more gets more attention from the media, and critics who are looking to sell their products and services. And so on. If you're looking for great music you just have to either come from a proper background, or become greatly informed. Not everyone is going to see that. People are easily fooled by false claims, and advertising. So I don't really care what the guy next door is listening to. What's the difference, the masses are in a state of slumber anyway. They believe what they are told, and usually what they are told is for the sake of the greater marketplaces, not for the sake of true arts, or music. Just a thought, Gary EDIT: You know it's actually better to let the masses sleep, because if they ever awoke there would be less money in the coffers of the record companies to make exclusive, real, and expensive flamenco. I think that it works that way....
