Justification

Do we not mock what we love?

Frank Zappa loved doo-wop; he parodied it to the point of having a whole album of sappy I-vi-ii-V songs.

Are we embracing what we love as being dumb? Is that all we're doing? Or are we ignoring that it's dumb?

One can accept the dumbness of a music and still enjoy it for other reasons, perhaps. Zappa seemed to revel in its stupidity. But he was a Dadaist. that may make it ok.

Maybe the majority of us music addicts (those of us not stuck in listening to only one type of music) really all love "stupid pop," but are not ready to admit it (some are ready.)


Listening to:

Autechre - Tri Repetae
(and a leafblower outside)
