"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it."

LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE
Leo Kottke, I wonder what he'd have to say about Atanas Ourkouzounov instead of being used by an ignorant, attention deficient boob like you.
You, the guy who as recently as July 20 called Dusan Bogdanovic a... what were those fools golden words? Oh, yeah,"a dishwater dull Eastern European guy who writes unlistenable academic bullshit for classical guitar". The composer of Six Balkan Minatures, African Sketches, Reversible Cowboy, The Book of Unknown Standards.
You are an idiot who I doubt Leo Kottke would welcome speaking for him.
You must find that opinion about gimmicks gratifying because it's all you've got. The stupid, like you, no doubt figure everything but the trite and tried is a "gimmick" whereas most intelligent people would know them for originality.
Yada yada yada.
ReplyDeleteAll these guitarists you've been posting are, indeed, fabulous virtuosos.
Big deal.
To quote the great Leo Kottke, who knows from this shit, "I love gimmicks. I think they're the heart and soul of music."
