      <![CDATA[but how would you know it was christ and not just another subway scammer?--i mean, anyone can put on a fake beard and robe, plus already we've got extempore sermonizers aplenty down there ...
    
    as for stopping and listening, well, why would you, especially in the middle of rush hour?: good music (unless you equate it with ditties and melodies rather than intricate note relations, overarching form, etc) involves attentive listening for an extended period of time--not exactly a drive-by, and the context rules against it: ambient bells & whistles, construction-site clamor, people talking on their cell phones, etc ... at least in the concert hall everyone can go "sshhhhh"
    
    and how DO you tell the music's "good," whatever that means, without deliberately breaking cadence, chucking the routine? ... "uh-oh, not as 'good' as i'd hoped": obviously that's a risk, since a priori it's not a sure thing
    
    plus it's early in the morning and i'm just plain crabby ... so try me again at lunch hour

      <![CDATA[Here's what I think the "experiment" proves:  that people in a big city on their way to work at rush hour wouldn't stop to see Christ himself telling parables.
    
    They would have only stopped if somebody was handing out free stuff (and they noticed it).  This fits my observation that people will stand in line for bags of dog crap it you tell them it's free.

      <![CDATA[As "this blogger" mentioned above, I'd like to clarify that I don't at all believe that high culture is simply a classist put-on (as scholar of French Literature, that would be a bit unexpected). Much of what is considered high culture is valid because many people have been, and continue to be, touched by it. That said, however, valuing high culture need not be done at the expense of popular culture (some high culture started out there!) nor by having recourse to phrasings like "crowned heads of Europe" (as Weingarten notes). The classist overtones that I saw were the product of the article's writing, and the way it deliberately played upon the ways that culture is *consumed* in the US.
