Anyone can have an opinion about anything.Inigo Montoya wrote:...It's a fairly simple concept.
Know-it-all types stating categorically that someone is wrong when it comes to a thing as subjective as musical appreciation, or similar, are flying in the face of logic; by definition, they can be accused of being just as wrong.
By definition, they are. If they stated that such-and-such a song was based on such-and-such a tradition of music, or written by whoever, then they may actually be right; if they state that a certain song has little or no merit they are merely stating an opinion, even if based on some academic or aesthetic tradition, and are wrong unless they state that this is merely their opinion, only, in which case -- like those they seem to see as lesser mortals (everyone else) -- they may be right, they may be wrong, and they may be crazy but it just may be a lunatic they're looking for. Something like that, anyway.
But there are those who've read all the books, seen all the clips, spent a lifetime studying the subject, and reckon they know a whole lot more than you do.
Their opinion is going to be worth so much more than yours, isn't it ?
I mean, it's an informed opinion, isn't it ?
It will carry weight, whereas yours will be blown away by the first breeze that comes along.................... probably their flatulence..........
Oh boy, you are a character!
