Bored and lazy

on: November 13, 2011, 03:07:12 PM

Is it ok to listen to popular music? I struggle going from Chopin to Barry Manilow, but can't resist it!

That's one of the huge temptations that every classical musician will have to face at some point in his life. But we must not take the bait! Otherwise we will burn in hell!

Now you have still a chance to change your mind! But don't wait until it's too late, for the demons of pop will eat you alive and your musical soul will end up as a never ending loop in one of their songs!

Brother, I warn you urgently, stop listening to the voices of this bottomless abyss!

I do not listen to popular music, with and exception for early jazz. I really do not mind music made to 1980's, it is not that bad. However, after 80's, popular music is, well, mainly crap.

Of course, this is only my subjective opinion.

Best regards, Dr

That is just my nickname.

It is derived from the name of a Lego minifigure, I started to use this nick when I was a big Lego fan.
