Wow... I'd sure like to think you're kidding here. There's no shortage of examples on the forum of people making sweeping general statements of taste or opinion as if they were undeniable truths; sometimes that kind of thing implies that the writer thinks they're an expert. But in this case Theresa simply said "I'm saying I didn't care for Dales voice"; one person clearly expressing no more than her own taste and opinion, it couldn't be much clearer than that. She certainly doesn't "dismiss" someone as if "their life had no meaning" as you put it, if fact in my opinion she didn't show Dale any disrespect at all. I've known Dale for 20+ years and he of all people doesn't expect everyone to love his music.I was just wondering how you got to be such an expert on the subject of music.
When musicians and singers spend their lives honing their craft, and are lightly dismissed as if their life has no meaning, I figure it's fair to look into the source of the opinion.
On the other hand I can think a recent example of a sweeping statement of "expert" opinion that I personally think DOES "lightly dismiss" hundreds of "musicians and singers" who spent their lives "honing their crafts":
Any guesses as to who wrote that?Great music is being produced every day, just not in Nashville.
