R: Boulez Project Invitation



I agree that generalization is at least not useful.
Anycase:
1. The Boulezian words have been extracted without any form of respect to
the context. As this is a form of criticism, it cannot be realized without
enough consciousness.
2. To destroy (material) culture is always subtly dangerous and potentially
fascist. Adolescential in the worst sense. Better a potlach, isn't it?

Hi Aaron, not to gang up on anyone here, but I do wish to point out that
an obviously bitter Jan Larsson has a habit of taking any opportunity to
over generalize and blame and criticize Americans for whatever he can
sink his virtual teeth into and I for one am quite familier and bored
with the routine and hit 'delete' at every opportunity he posts such
hateful diatribe.

Best, Dale
