>I know some will quibble about my use of "much of the world". I am not talking about regional things like Balkan music, Throat singing, and tribal chant but rather the Western World Standard. ...THERE IS NO ACCEPTED STANDARD anymore.!! Entertainers can make an obscene amout of money because the public has been dumbed down to the point of accepting bad for good, ugly for beautiful, trash for Art, and garbage for music!!! I am NOT PC! Never will be. <
Opera was developed in a Catholic world where profit was conditioned to the ideal of "the fair price" Thomas Aquina dedicated chapters to figure out and where interest rates were illegal, etc, etc. Liberal capitalism and multiculturalism developed in Anglo-Saxon countries. It's none of my business! hehe
>Even Vocalist is being dumbed down but this "C--" thread, and the feeble "me too" one-liners. If you want to try to make it as a comedy writer for stand up routines, Go ahead. Find another forum! No wonder many of the intelligent posters on relevant matters have gone silent. I ask again, HAS IT ALL BEEN SAID? As Peggy Lee asked,"Is that ALL there IS? I will continue to peruse the posts, and save very few. When trolls and feel-good PC dominate Vocalist, I will sally forth again.<
I've been a member off and on since it was at www.vocalist.org and nothing has really changed. It's always been a group for all tendencies, as it continues to be. I agree with your anti-PC attitude and I think I've always been the only member who openly expresses that attitude without caring for other members' reactions. And I'm Brazilian and into heavy, prog metal mostly, so I'd profit from supporting PC concepts. Instead of complaining about other people's attitude, why don't you start expressing your point of view here more often? You can't expect anti-PC opinions to be expressed by people who hold PC opinions!
Best wishes,
Caio
