Not mine, either, but I just had to point out the inventiveness of avant-garde sometimes isn't always veering away from accessibility, and often is reflected in music since.

Also, Blastinggas, the futurists were out to anger people. I imagine what you're saying about 'having feeling' is wrong. Imagine you played a Sex Pistols record do an 80 year old lady in the 70s. Then you ask her if it 'has feeling'...

Same response. Same purpose, really.

Does it make the Sex Pistols musically invalid, or is it you refusing to see the bigger picture?

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
