    Classic FM and Nigel Farage, are we to blame?

    Popular and popularism. What are the most visited threads on here?

    Are we kidding ourselves? We are no better, are we we not?

    We love a list. We love Rossini overtures and dislike Lachenmann and Barrett, innit?

    What are you listening to?
    What's your favourite Bruckner?

        What is 'popular' here isn't necessarily popular with the general public. I mean, not necessarily I take popularist/populist to imply, insofar as it means appealing to 'ordinary people', appealing to as large a number of the population as possible. Every minority interest group will have common and more esoteric interests among themselves.
        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.

          You want to be starting a " Barrett Associations " thread, then.
          I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

          I am not a number, I am a free man.

              Who's this "Nigel Farage"? It's not some pseudonym for Nigel Hess, surely? "Far"? "Age"? How far has this aged person come, one might not wonder. I give up (wisely, for once, methinks)...
