The Proms aint what it used to be.
All IMVHO of course.
Isn't the problem that as contemporary popular music expands, diversifies and fragments, and as the media, platforms and spaces also expand to contain it, any music that doesn't fit majority taste is getting pushed into the small cobwebby boxroom that used to be marked 'Classical Music': so film music, musicals, LJ-type music, 'world music (1987)', aging pop groups, which still have their fans, have to go in the boxroom because no one else will have them? And their fans fight to stay in the one place that's offered to them?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

For me, large numbers of people, crowds, is my idea of Hell.
I know some people relish being part of the Borg. For others it is anathema.
It wd be nice to celebrate a small gathering...
