I was contacted by a musician recently who's narrow-minded opinions sparked this.

Musical ignorance
You're afraid to listen, learn, and enjoy something new.
You judge music instead of learning from it.
You profess your musical superiority
  While children play crop circles around your arrogance.
Your creativity extends to the compositions you steal.
"Sure," you say, "everyone does that."
But it is Your only "true" art form.

So the question remains--
Will your musical dominance
Allow you to continue making music,
Or will your narrow-mindedness
Yield a Big Bang of notes and instruments
To awaken in you your own musical ignorance?
