...when I read about a music performance, I don't have to have been there to learn something about music. Criticism is not the simple-minded determination of whether one is agreed with (or, not). A good critic introduces us to a larger view, one that may be taken without having seen (or heard) the event in question.Also, kettle to pot! Kettle to pot! Duncan is being called "pompous" by YOU?
