What do you think? Is this one of the best long books out there?

Good Art Bad Art seeks to be a place where good and, yes, bad music (and literature) can be discussed openly, honestly, and rigorously; and where the opposing forces of objectivity and subjectivity can share the same warm bed for a brief while. It is also a place where you can leave your opinion (I read them all) in the always fascinating and sometimes fractious comment section — don't be shy now.

My stance on the use of Artificial Intelligence:
I want to assure you that everything you read or hear from me is entirely mine and mine alone — AI has no place whatsoever in the work I create.
