So, if I dislike freeform, it's all about politics and musical conservatism?
I don't think so. I just don't enjoy what he does that much.
Nor do I enjoy SP's new direction, but once again, it's a matter of taste, not
politics and "comfort zones." I'm sure you must be one of the most
revolutionary music listeners out there, but don't be making blanket
statements about ulterior motives at people who don't have any. I appreciate
that which complements my imagination, and freeform doesn't. Simple as that.
