Hahahahahahahaha
Oh man, you want to talk about canonization of music? Talk to this guy, brought to us by A&L Daily. Man, he just does. Not. Get. It.
I mean, yes, I too like albums and concerts and listening to music in what this guy would call the "proper" context. But just because that's a good way to listen to music it does not follow (at all) that any other way is bad. I'm sorry classical music is doing bad and all (and the Walkman may well have contributed), but that doesn't mean portable, relatively lo fi music is bad. Jeeze. Anyone who says "I shall mourn an art that was ripped from its rightful place and reduced in moral worth" is,in my humble opinion, talking out of their ass.
