Re: Prog, Marx and Elitism

Sorry for having sat out this discussion -- without having read any other responses, I'd just point out all that "Marxist" stuff is again a very European way of looking at it. Class is "different" in the New World.

ELP were not popular in America because of their "artful & enlightening" classical bits, but because of the spinning pianos and cannons and lasers and stuff! They put on a spectacle, very populist in a way.

(I am totally fascinated by ELP on so many levels -- they paraded their "good taste" around while they were in fact totally "tasteless"! I always love a good paradox . . . but that's a digression.)
