How the Avant Garde Got Popular (Or Not)

Me, in The Advocate, on David Stubbs' Fear of Music, which came out about one month ago. It's a really smart book, but it spends too much time trying to convince people to like avant garde music and not enough time explaining why it hasn't become popular like visual art. Me, I think it's institutions.
