        Great article!! I saw so many  things in this article I didn't know 
what to highlight and send so I settled for  the Kierkegaard. (that Kirk regard 
guy down home) I so try to pull off that way  of thinking but usually come up 
short. If something is truly great it shouldn't  need defending. I find 
myself doing that way more than I would like to. Fact of  the matter is that it 
comes down to what floats ye boat. I think that the only  mistake that could be 
made of a musician is ignorance of another style, and then  to just disregard 
what the musicians are doing in that style as below them. Look  at it this way, 
do these people that play or enjoy the styles that we don't get  into sleep 
well at night? If you look back at the ground breakers in any  style (insert 
names here) you will see that they got into some stuff that really  didn't have 
much to do with what they ended up playing. Check it ALL  out and come to your 
own conclusion is how I feel about it.

I have  music that I love, and ideology is a weapon that I might use to 
defend and  argue my love, which is tempting but absurd. After all, how do 
you defend  a gut level emotion? Whatâs more, why would you? Kierkegaard 
writes  wisely, âTo defend something is to disparage it.â Itâs the mantra of 
the  high road. If you love something, you should be all quiet and spiritual  
about it, not needing to justify it, right? Wrong! How could we survive  
without the bitchy, bickering fun of polemics?
