Well I believe the question, which had little to do with the credibility of Britney Spears or John Cage was whether or not one can any longer make a distinction between high and low art, and I think that the answer is: no. No definitive conclusion can be reached. I think now the standard of judgement is relative to audience: who is the art for, in what way does it appeal to them while simultaneously proving that it has a right to exist, etc. I know that last statement requires a bit more explanation but I, honestly, do not have time to offer one right now.
