Alastair Scott quoted a member of Franz Ferdinand:

>"Because I listen to Nirvana and Korn I am a troubled individual,
>I'm riddled with angst because I listen to Chopin and Debussy,
>I listen to Kylie Minogue and Scissor Sisters because I'm upbeat
>and I like to party, I listen to Wagner because I like the smell
>of napalm in the morning."

Hollywood has a lot to answer for...

>The point about hostility to classical music in Scotland is, sadly, all
>too true:/

Perhaps, but his notion that the only thing attempting to redress this
hostility is Classic FM strikes me as, well, misguided.  Classic FM
*makes* me feel hostile.
