On the main topic of the thread: <sigh> this is one of those arguments that run and run - debating the value of high versus low culture, trying to even define the difference. Whether it's classical music versus pop, art movies versus soap operas or Great Literature versus popular fiction.
Here's my conclusion, gathered over hearing, reading and participating in many such arguments - in the end you like what you like.
