i'm not discussing politics or sociology (certainly not on this ML). in the
musical/cultural realm, this claim is really hard to justify. what did it
take the minimalists or the punks or even the prog rockers to reject twelve
tone atonal serialism, prog rock and 3 chord C-major common time party
music? almost nothing except a committment to their own visions and a lot
of hard work. and even wierder? the establishment barely even fought back.
and this is even more true when its no longer necessary to convince a
record label or TV network or radio station manager that you're the shiznit.
