So Spalding, does that mean that one must subscribe to the 'majority' opinion or be rebuffed. Don't be so quick to fall prey to the 'herd' mentality. And never forget that music, like most art forms, is a very subjective thing. All I know is, I'm not dropping anything in her guitar case. As for the BOSE clarity, with her raucous tone, I'd say that it's working against her. JMO. No others need agree.
