"non-musical types" appreciating GG's music

[aq094@lafn.org (Eugene Selig)]

It was a curious comment, since GG, when interviewed in "Concert Dropout" 
(the recording), stated that "most concert-goers are not musicians and 
don't care anything about music." Of course, that was one of the 
annoyances that propelled him to quit the concert stage. It therefore 
appears to me that GG would not be thrilled by the inclusion of 
non-musicians to his Web site. On the other hand, the people he liked 
most were NOT musicians, nor even interested in music (B. Monsiagnon, YM, et 
al, not withstanding). By his own words, he preferred the company (or 
phone contact) of "journalists...." This attitude of almost contempt 
toward some members of his live concert audiences is very telling, since 
he kept such opinions to himself until after he abandoned his concertizing.
I have heard some persons to whom this comment was apparently aimed 
refuse to purchase his recordings in retribution. Anyone care to continue 
this line of thinking?
