No, thank you, I believe I will stick to the true artistry of my jazz and classical works. |
It's defenitly true that jazz/classical/folk is NOT popular music. C'mon, pop is it's own genre. All the users on TH TM and can't be compared to the tv watching public for several reasons. 1: TH and TM members already play un-pop (trumpet isn't a pop/rock instrument) 2: TH and TM members COMBINED couldn't make a dent in the viewer ratings if we wanted to. We comprise a teensy, weensy small segement of the population, and that's most likely the way it will stay. I don't think he was arguing that pop is good and jazz/classical is bad. He merely stated the underlying reality.
