Priceless: "Even in church, where one might think that all parties would agree that we owe God our best, there can be a bellligerent emphasis on the faux-egalitarian. Doggerel-ridden ditties with tunes reminiscent of TV show themes , their theology borrowed from the world of pop psychology, are to be given the same repsect as the great music of Bach, the Wesleys and Vaughn Williams, because "some people like it". So much for lifting one's eyes--and one's tastes." From the same article: "Once you develop a taste for the good stuff, whether in art, music, literature or cognac, it's hard to go back." 9:48:41 PM    comment []
