It made me think differently.<br /> <br />There's more than one way to talk about music, and more than one valid perspective. That's why I admire this blog so much. But as long as what is said is honest and worthwhile, I have to say that I'm not over-bothered by the contractual arrangements that may or may not have led to one particular person saying it.

Is its replacement "cultural commentating"?

Pau..."Max Hole". Seriously? Too funny.<br /><br />Paul Morley's an idiot - he may know a great deal about Rock Music (I don't), but knows sweet F.A. about 'classical' music.<br /><br />Robrobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386838828223763619noreply@blogger.com
