That's right. As I admit in a subsequent post, my logic
was completely fuzzy. Sorry about that. But your state-
ment in another previous post bears comment -- that finding
a composer's music dry and mechanical is a poor reason to
boycot their music. Hmm....is it really a poor reason?
One need not have strong political feelings about a com-
poser in order to want to avoid them. If you simply hate
the manner in which they wrote, and their music just sounds
terrible to you, what better reason could you have for ac-
tively and willfully avoiding exposure to it?
