At Kronos Quartet last night it struck me that as many lament about lower popularity and elitist rep of pursuits like #wine, #art, #classicalmusic and #opera, and #literature, the problem isnt in those pursuits, but often the attitudes of the (often self) anointed gatekeepers. 1/

There are similarities in the whinging by the respective "intellectual" wings across those pursuits, but I've known many who are not as gifted or learned (me included) who take great pleasure in them. Many claim to want broader popularity, but their attitudes say differently. 2/
