(And I don't mean the Archduke:)

That might seem a curious combination, but there are some remarkable
statements here:

Unfortunately the lecture is not online, either on its own home page or
on FF's Web site, and I am reduced to quoting bleeding chunks of it thus:

   "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."

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