No. You're describing it out of context.  ZUCKERMAN, the Usual (nasty
toward other musicians if they are of the early music variety and very
publicly disdainful of them) once *again* stated what they do is "rubbish"
and often comments on what he feels is their inferior musicianship on the
whole.  I can't stand the guy myself.  So, she's responding that he is just
stuck in the past and this is the reason for his great anger, so often
expressed, at the early music movement AND its popularity with buyers.
