Thus it cannot be classified as "spiritual", let alone "esthetic", as one writer to a Toronto newspaper stated. Lack- ing sentiment and depth, it was characterized by sentimentality and super- fieiality. For everything genuine there's so rething couinterfeit. As someone has said, "We'd rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticismn". Somebody also wrote to that paper that Elvis was "the greatest singer of ahl time!" This would indicate that Caruso, Robeson, Marian Ander- son, Lois Marshall, etc., etc., didn't really 'make it!' Dise jockeys are con- tînnually m-isLlsing adjec- tives like "good" or "4great" or even "1fine"l music - an obvious case of brainwashiflg a gulflible public. Natturally, people have the righit to their opinions But saying, "I like so-and- Sos singing and lyrics" doesnfot necessarily prove irntch or even anything. For a change, why not let sonmý of tlie experts at Toronto 's Royal Conserva- tory of Muisic render an OBJECTIVE critiquie. 0f course, timie will likely put the mutsie of Elvis, the Beatles et ai in its rightfuil place.
