Thing is, Adam Howell, I have fifty five years of 'technical musical knowledge' and am still a performing musician. Andrew Lloyd Webber has no talent at all to my EARS and that's what counts. I hated everything he did because it was trite, two dimensional, and in the case of Evita, squirmingly inappropriate - if he'd read the truth about the Peron regime he'd never have made a sentimental operatta about it. It's easy for an over educated person whose Dad was a classical musical professional and teacher to cobble together some 'music' but there's no heart in it. There's no struggle behind it. It's a pile of shallow, not very innovative bourgeois bullshit served up to dumb sheeple, and Japanese tourists. He would never, ever have got backers if he hadn't been Who he is, if some 'nobody' had written it it would never have seen the light of day. Rice's lyrics are mainly doggerel too by the way.

Although I almost completely agree with everything you say, I suspect there is an argument to be made that it's a matter of taste. If one person enjoys his sacharine dirges, then to them he has talent. I too am a musician, but I wouldn't appeal to authority because of it. That said, I do like a good rant myself, and employing subjective opinion as if it were objective truth is as good a rhetorical device as any to express the strength of your feelings on the matter..
