Only worth responding to here: > [@Quincy Jones has zero fucks to give: his Interview; shades Michael, Jimi, Ringo, Cyndi, etc](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quincy-jones-has-zero-fucks-to-give-his-interview-shades-michael-jimi-ringo-cyndi-etc/808505/114): > > You left out your explanation of what is fundamental about music. You’re saying you have it but you’re holding out? It’s the thing QJ didn’t have. We know that much. Why, the ability to listen to and appreciate music that’s outside of his comfort zone, idiot. I didn’t mention it, because it’s pretty obvious when you think about it. He says “There ain’t no fucking songs.” No, there are songs, he’s just not able to hear them anymore. Why? I don’t fucking know. He’s probably just not listening. > [@Quincy Jones has zero fucks to give: his Interview; shades Michael, Jimi, Ringo, Cyndi, etc](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quincy-jones-has-zero-fucks-to-give-his-interview-shades-michael-jimi-ringo-cyndi-etc/808505/114): > > Do you have a “smooth” market vision where all songs are in a big uniform cultural stream that never stops, or changes qualitatively. You would have to cite for that. If music changes it can be better or worse. Or the same for a few data points. But it won’t be identical. So the idea that music is always partially good to a similar ratio is ridiculous. > > Tired old nonsense comes in many forms. A “smooth” market vision? What fucking jibberish. The ratio of crap to genius stays relatively stable over time, it’s a pity some people can’t see it, but it’s a common problem. My cite? People have been complaining about the latest trends in art for fucking ever. Art still keeps moving forward and getting better. Nope, tired old nonsense only comes in tired, old forms. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drad-dog-fuck-you-you-smug-douchebag-troll/798965)._
