I don't think you'll get the push back you are expecting.

This is not controversial.

Not even from the group of Weird Al fans who are all likely to agree with this? Aww man, I was sure I'd be at the top of All/Controversial by the end of the day!

tbf even on the original post everyone is in agreement, I just took the excuse to post here. It's been too quiet

And the two friends sat together on that hill to watch a peaceful sunset. The war drums were quiet and a symphony of accordions filled the night air.

I’m from all and you supported your thesis sufficiently and I can’t really argue against it. Weird Al is an extremely proficient musician and performer.

Mozart is brilliant of course, but his mythos is also a product of his time. The way music is written, taught, and performed has changed wildly since then so of course it’s hard to see people of comparable skill to him
