Keep track of who you are when you write about music. Everything you write betrays something of who you are. Pierre Bourdieu: "Nothing more clearly affirms one's 'class,' infallibly classifies, than tastes in music."
And try to be an acute reader and avoid being contaminated by bad attitudes. "Among people ... who fancy themselves intellectuals ... snobbery runs more rampant than bacteria through the kitchen of a Tijuana slow-food restaurant." (Excerpted from a book review in the L.A.Times by John Simon, Joseph Epstein's Snobbery: The American Version) ¶ 7/16/2002 11:11:00 AM
