Of course, you have to make distinctions between music when you're analyzing it as a musicologist or journalist. But I avoid it, kind of like you you avoid things you don't want to think about. I grew up listening to pop music, but then, what I did, I went to school and studied classical music and wrote music in that style. So it really is not a lie when I say that what I'm doing comes out of that, and that it's not like I'm trying to fuse any two art forms.
