Interesting observation on human nature

[spareparts]

ya'll have hit apon the same thing I was thinking. I appreciate classical music, but I guess I'm not snobbish enough to recognize the composer or violinist. It is wonderfull music, but to declair it the best music played by the best musician? Thats a matter of opinion to the person asked. That being said, what do you think would have happened if say Bruce Springsteen was sitting there strumming a few strings, or Kenny Chesney, Jimmy Buffett, (fill in the name of your favorite artist)or any number of recent musical artist, take one of the American Idol winners and have them stand there singing. Do you think they would have attracted a bigger audiance? I think its more a statement of current musical taste. Ya'll remember the concerts held on the roof(started with the Beatles, coppied by many), they allways seemed to draw a crowd. Plus, do you really think the subway was a good place to do this? Most of the people on the subway are going from one place to another, usually on a schedule, it would be like expecting me to stop on the freeway to listen to someone playing the violin, I'm usually headed some where, on a schedule. It just looks to me like some snob(whoever came up with the idea) wanted another reason to be snobbish to people that didn't have the same taste that they did and come up with something else to complain about.
