From a foundation in Classical music, it's also much easier to 'sell' kids (and adults) on Conservative politics and principles, because they share logical, coherent foundations.

I'm a huge classical music fan, but if you think the classical music world is any less lefty than the rest of the music world, you're deluding yourself and should probably reread Tom Wolfe's classic book, Radical Chic.

My only apparent "delusion" was my hope that my words would not be twisted into more than what I said.

OF COURSE there are Leftists who enjoy classical music, I never suggested that there weren't.  What I was referring to was people who didn't already have a strong political or ideological streak.  There are lots of people who are apolitical, yet if they have a foundation in Classical music first, they might more readily appreciate the logic and timeless truths of Conservatism.
