Relax Dan. Do you always over react.
Of course everyone has a right to their opinion. Not the point!
It is expected but discouraging to hear constant hype in the media about the
ubiquitous likes of Stoltzman, Kenny G,
Wynton Marsalis, etc. Let them have their fame and glory.
Who gives a shit!
I would expect and hope on a list such as this to discuss
and bring to fore the wealth of cats that are completely
overlooked.
There has to be criteria for evaluation. In this world of hype, it seems
anyone with a good publicity agent can get over.
Of course this problem has always existed, but now pandering
seems to equate with talent.
I am certainly amused with your self-righteous attack, it was such a trivial,
light hearted remark.
Please feel free to be intolerant and offensive if your
enormous ego and grandiose opinions are confronted.
