This should be interesting...
At the risk of everyone running screaming from my journal, I had to share that PBS, as part of it's pledge drive, is doing a Yanni concert tonight at 8pm CST.
Now, before anyone starts making faces, I'm going to be pro-actively on the offense here.
If you've actually listened to his music* and you don't like it, fine. No problem here, we have different tastes and I'm cool with that.
If you're simply reacting to the *name* because of the running cultural jokes/bashing that's been going on for years - then don't bring it here. It's not to everyone's taste, but it, like ANY OTHER MUSIC deserves at least a chance and the respect of actually being listened to before dismissal or mockage.
Well, now I've vented. And I'm gonna go enjoy the show.
*(instrumental, mostly, and new-age-y to a degree (though just about any modern instrumental music that's not a score for something seems to get stuck with that label now days))
