I’m doing a degree in Music, Culture and Politics, and this is the assignment for a module on Modernism and Postmodernism. It’s about the divide between modernist high art and mass culture - whether it’s a dichotomy or a nice symbiotic relationship or perhaps postmodern plurality has killed the two categories altogether blah blah blahhhhhhhhh… (do you see what I mean about my What Would Benedict Say just-use-lots-of-clever-words technique? xD) Anyway I just wrote 500 words on why James Rhodes is awesome and anyone who disagrees is a musical snob, so he’ll have to give me good marks or look bad :P
