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.
