The "musician" incidentally was Adorno, if that was missed. Apologies
if so, I must be slow, as well as over sarcastic, on occasion.
What I'd rate about Adorno (my friend calls him
S'Adorno; I nearly get the joke...) is that he really did seem, to me,
to really offer a palliative for ugly / senseless conformity. Whatever sort of critic he is, and I also really like that he attaches that
to music, that's worth something.
