<html><P>Foolish to talk about musical standards at a time when there simply are none. All choices are based merely on taste and there are unfortunately no objective standards at play in our world to help determine taste. Anything Goes (Cole Porter)! So, what do we do? We make choices based on "what we like," then spew out a lot of intellectual-sounding verbiage to try to justify our "lack of position."<BR>Unfortunately the time for establishing (or re-establishing) musical standards is long past.</P>
