Mmm-hmm. Sonny Rollins vs. Kenny G, Nicholas Harnoncourt vs. Jean-Pierre
Rampal, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli vs. Liberace, "mountain" country music
vs. crossover country-rock, Alanis Morisette vs. Whitney Houston, gospel vs.
rap, the Pixies vs. John Cougar Mellencamp, Metallica vs. Morrissey, John Adams
vs. John Tesh--the list could go on forever.

Anyone who is discriminating about music will love certain things and hate
other things--and in some cases even hate them with a passion. Art lovers have
strong passions. It's not a question of open-mindedness or close-mindedness.
Anyone who accepts all art with equal tolerance and zero discrimination is
completely, _completely_ missing the point.

Hell, even people who really like _television_ know which shows they like and
which they don't.
