<<The sad thing is that the "genres" are supposedly
"pop" fiction already...>>
Just like jazz and the blues are supposedly popular
forms
-- yet nowadays it's a small elite that cares for them (and
buys the recordings and the tickets). I make no excuses for
the word elite; I'm using it literally.
Even my kids, budding jazz fans, noticed that the shelf with
the jazz and blues CDs at the public library is almost always
deserted. It was pretty funny to hear my older son shout:
hey, they have the Old Howling Wolf!! The librarian seemed
puzzled.
Some days I feel like an extraterrestrial, or at least like a
Fritz Leiber character.
