Anyone reading that could think "This guy is so far up his own a**e he's coming back down again"
Intelligence has bugger all to do with appreciation of ANY form of art or the appreciation of ANYTHING for that matter.
My friend's six year old daughter likes Van Gough's Sunflowers paintings because they LOOK nice to her whereas another friend of mine who has a degree in Physics doesn't. That's not to say that the six year old isn't intelligent, she is, but that her perception of the painting is different.
My wife, who I might add is one of the most intelligent people I know, can't stand listening to Stravinsky whereas I would go miles to hear, say, The Rite of Spring played in concert.
I'm sure some of the devils who nearly killed me in a bombing incident in 1974 were intelligent too but they didn't APPRECIATE life the way I do. They had their own agenda. And that's the point.
You don't need intelligence to like something it just has to appeal to your senses and fit in with your life agenda.
