Agree with you there.

I just think that when mediocrite and simple things are accepted as a high enough standard there's not always a reason to search for more. That's what happenned, again, in the music biz. We get schlock and drek. That's seen as acceptable. We agreed tat stuff is pretty juvenile, but adults accept that stuff as well and it defines their tastes because they are not always exposed to more.

I know very few people who listen to classical, even know what flamenco is or know that south america was the center of classical music and guitar for a hundred years. But they think Radiohead is brilliant.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not a snob. I watch tv, play xbox and occasionally listen to pop music. It's just that there's more and I don't see people developing the patience to appreciate it. It's sad that art has declined to the point that Andy Warhol is even considered an artist.
