I think Kent is right. Even current cool cat Lupe Fiasco listens to
classical. Derrick May is a big listener of classical - and he's
working on that opera project I posted about a while ago. These kind

My parent's generation -- born in the 30s and 40s -- drank the Koolaid
that is part of their classical training, that classical music is the

perform classical music without denying the validity of other forms.

this.
