On The Nature Of Young Butts

When will those wrongheaded and misguided if well-intentioned pundits and marketing types concerned with securing a new, younger audience for the classical music concert get it through their purblind, one-track, pop-culture-contaminated minds that it's not a matter of putting young butts in seats, but of putting the right kind of young butts in seats; butts belonging to those who are in those seats because they've been lured there not by the promise of a circus act or quasi-rock or -pop "concert" or vaudeville show in which classical music plays some part, but by an interest in, curiosity about, or love of classical music.

Yes, the above rant was occasioned by yet another imbecile blog post on the subject, and, no, I absolutely refuse to link to it. Figuring out which blog contains that imbecile post is left as an exercise for the reader.
