That's weird. I know I pasted it on there when I was typing the original message. I've just edited it and put the link in.
Thanks, good stuff, some very true words from master Ellington!

Two girls I dated in HS and College respectively were not musicians but we shared musical tastes. They were actually both Rush fans and we would go see Rush together. .
You're right! Delta's obviously lying! (j/k Ken)Wait a second.....not one, but two females that like Rush????
Impossible!!!!
I didn't know there was such a thing. I'm so glad I saw them on their Three of a Perfect Pair tour. I've been on a strict diet of Discipline/Beat/Three of a Perfect Pair for the past few weeks. It's breathtaking how well those albums have held up over time.I'm a member of the King Crimson Fan Club for Women. I once hoped to double the club's membership but I don't expect to find anyone else now ...
I always wanted to see a KC gig ... for once the long queue outside the toilets during intermission wouldn't be my problem ...
If Pablo Picasso had lived in a poor African country rather than in Paris at the centre of the art world being surrounded by glamour and avant-garde artists, would people still have considered him to be a genius? It's a question that doesn't have an answer. You might say people would have recognised his greatness but again, people have missed out on greatness, even when it was handed right to them (the example of Jerzy Kosinsky's bestselling novel 'Steps' ).
Exact same piece; different evaluation.
Andrew Potter's The Authenticity Hoax is a good one too, which deals with the concept overall in the context of modernity.

Deltadrummer said:Authenticity is a basic discussion point in aesthetics, and everyone deals with it. The punkers thought that corporate music wasn't authentic rock and roll, where as prog rockers often quoted classical works to give their music historical authenticity.
Remember, the reason a lot of bands became huge is also because they were hyped and held up as future music icons in the press. They were given an elevated status, and this gives people a reason to pay attention. Music alone doesn’t always sell. It’s also about who the band is, their personalities, their story, etc. We also read magazine editors and bloggers raving about them too, which adds to the appeal.
Have you noticed how your own attitude has change towards the value of music and other musicians? And if so, in what way?

It's always almost strange to see women at "musician's music" type shows like the G3 tour or Dream Theater and the whatnot.
If I ever found a woman that liked Rush or Steve Vai (or any jazz besides Kenny G-esque "soft jazz"), I'd probably propose on the spot.
