Quoted from Joost

"The Beatles are not merely awful. They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of antimusic"
- William F. Buckley, Jr (Journalist)

Hee! Thanks, BiscuitPower; this is one of the greatest quotes ever. It makes me want to pat Bill on his pompous, polysyllabic cheeks. *watches as Bill and "a clue" go off in opposite directions*

Here's another of Mr Buckley's quotes, directed at Gore Vidal : “Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock you in your goddamn face, and you'll stay plastered.”
This was on TV after the Democratic Convention riots ('68?)
Methinks the sixties were probably a bit mystifying for good ol' junior.

Only the sixties?  

I despise this recent "I hate The Beatles because I've never actually listened" thing, where people say they hate them for no beter reason then that they are a popular group. As Jello Biafra himself said:

The punks need to get over themselves. There is no way John Lydon was as scary to England in 1977 as John Lennon was in 1967.

This large group of people, many who simply refuse to listen to "old" music, they just want to seem different. And if you have to TRY to be different, you're not different at all.

This large group of people, many who simply refuse to listen to "old" music, they just want to seem different. And if you have to TRY to be different, you're not different at all.

People who refuse to listen to old music are just silly. So much great pop music has been made in the last 50+ years, who would anyone limit himself to just music from the last 2-3 years? That's just like saying you only read books with titles starting with an N or that you only eat green colored food.

Consumer items go out of fashion, good art doesn't. So if you won't listen to older music because you think it's old fashioned, it says a lot about what music means to you.
