Dullard Gazette, in a continuation of the persecution by mainstream awards bodies [MAB], shut out once again.
I've met the guy who won the music Pulitzer. Nice guy, good composer, but unfortunately his piece has now been all but destined for obscurity, as this list of previous winners can attest. How many can you hum? If you're somewhat cultured, probably just the one, Appalachian Spring. If you have a music degree, you might know half those names; the staggering list of 20th-century greats not on that list is the real kicker, though: Webern, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Weil, Gershwin, Mingus, Cage. I know music isn't about competition, but if Wynton Marsalis gets one and Walter Piston merits two, fer chrissakes....
