I saw a PBS special on Copeland (American Masters ?) and I could not believe the way the commentators were fawning all over him, and then they would play an excerpt. snore.

He was what he was. But not deserving of worship! But then of course, he was a reported homosexual, so they JUST HAD to present him as the greatest genius of all time.

That’s PBS for ya.

Upon reading your post, the possibility occured to me that he may have been a progressive.

Bingo!

And that's why PBS and all the rest did their fawning for lo these many years. His music stunk, but he was one of *them*.

Charles Ives was a far greater American master than Copeland.
