I was at that concert and had a great time. I'm sorry I'm not more of an intellectual so that I could explain to you why I like them, except that I find the songs catchy, I like her voice, I like the lyrics, I like the energy. I don't expect anyone to like the same bands as I, for the same reasons, and I respect differing opinions. You don't like them. Some other people do. They are overt according to your theory and hopefully not your bias. There's nothing wrong with that.<br /><br />I would be interested in looking at a screen on your website that listed artists (you like or have thought about because you have to start somewhere,) classified in some way according to AT.<br /><br />...and now for something completely different. I recently read a book on Post-Modernism and a thought a little of how it relates to your theory. If we take the word "modern" not as a style or a historic period, but meaning "of the present or the recent past" AKA contemporary... and post-modern can be defined as "what is not yet accepted or understood as the present," then would it be fair say that Advanced is another word for Post-Modern, in that sense?<br /><br />In addition, I am curious as to how you see AT relating to the broader concepts of Po-Mo, of which I don't claim to have any firm grasp. Well, this might be a can of worms, but I thank you for your time and any thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
