    who is the arbiter of what quality is?

    --it is and should be amcha, and NOT the musicians themselves.


    Recent "Best of Amcha" awards:  (BTW - AMCHA means "The People")  
    (Amcha votes by consumption in huge numbers...)

    Best music of all times:  Rap
    Best female singer:  Britney Spears
    Best male singer:  Snoop Doggie Dog 
    Best food of all times: Macdonald's
    Best poetry of all times: Hallmark greeting cards
    Best TV show:  Jerry Springer
    Best newspaper: National Enquirer


    yet failing to understand the underlying passion of the person they are 
criticizing.

    "Passion" (as expressed in the ARTS) without talent, study, 
professionalism, knowledge, and meaningful "reality checks" (with people like 
music teachers...?)... manifests somewhere between the pathetic to the comical. 

     but it is not up to them to decide for amcha what quality is. And that is 
the nub of my argument. 


     That judgment is best left to amcha, and ultimately, to the One Great 
Judge, whose name should be forever blessed.

    I hope the One who's name is forever blessed approves of our recent 
"achievements", as voted on by AMCHA.
