In Reply to: I have shockingly bad taste… posted by David Aiken on December 27, 2007 at 22:47:08:
taste is taste. I think people tend to mix up the idea of taste with an appreciation of excellence. For instance you like horror and scifi. That isn't bad taste that is your taste. The question is do you appreciate the difference between the excellent horror and scifi and the schlock. I hate opera. That is my taste. Nothing bad or good about it. It doesn't reflect on the reletive quality of any given opera. But an opera lover with the ability to discern quality can tell you the differences between good opera and bad opera. What I am trying to say is excellence and ability to appreciate it is independent of personal taste.
