Music or "Music"?

Discovered The Durutti Column. Don't know where they've been hiding from me. (Or which rock I've been hiding behind).

Josh poses me the question: "Does it matter how old you are when you make instrumental music?"

And follows up with: "When Britney Spears is seventy do you really think we'll want her singing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time'?" He has a good point.

Before I point to the distinction between Music, and "Music". Perhaps this is overly pretentious, perhaps not, but I feel the Durutti Column falls in the first camp, and Britney Spears in the second. One makes a lot of money, the other doesn't. (No prizes for guessing which.)

But as a reward for reading my crap, here is the Durutti Column.
