<< err, no i don't.

see, that's the whole thing about opinions.  each person's is as valid as
the next, be they innovator, inventor, or first-time listener.  

Ever been to a movie you didn't like?  Better yet, ever seen a movie
billed as "innovative" or "a classic" that you didn't like?  I highly
doubt you've directed a feature-length motion picutre which has recieved
national distribution. Yet I bet you'd feel free (as a bird) to voice your
opinion if you thought a movie was crap.  

The whole idea of having to pay some sort of unattainable dues before
you're entitled to voice any sort of criticism is ridiculous. You may be
ALAN OLDHAM, but your position as a figure of some importance in the
detroit scene doesn't place your opinion above any of ours.  if you'd like
to start a dialogue where we discuss Jeff Mills's current performances in
relation to his past works, I'll be more than glad to participate.  But
hovering in the background and coming out to tell us all to shut up just
doesn't work.
