    Not at all, I totally agree. It's all art and it's all movement. Bands are
    terribly difficult to hold together and keep dynamic. I've always been an
    ensemble player so I know the band thing well. I was just saying that if it
    moves people (physically, spiritually or emotionally) the manner in which it
    was created is irrelevant.

    General perhaps but these debates always seem to lose sight of that.

    peace,
