Kernis won the Grawemeyer this year, a few weeks ago - that's why when
I saw the posting about his Pulitzer a week or so after his winning the
Grawemeyer (while I couldn't find anything on the net about his Pulitzer),
I thought there was a confusion about the two awards.

I'm very enthusiastic about 20th-C music; that's why when I see composers
like Kernis or Corigliano winning awards for their tepid, easy neo-tonal
pabulum, I'm quite appalled.  Thanks goodness Carter, Boulez, and others
do get some recognition as well.
