Strange, you write off this rock culture as "puerile, monotonous, ridiculous, childish, posturing, limited and, above all, silly" and then proceed to say that you catch a show and drink too much beer and have a great time with some Texas rockers. On one hand you denounce rock culture and on the other hand you are reveling in it. You mentioned that you liked AC/CD, but aren't they just as puerile, monotonous, ridiculous, childish, posturing, limited and, above all, silly... as Pantera. If you are a man of taste: "a man who has enough experience and wisdom, and above all, the sheer confidence to assert them," why are you listening to AC/DC? Are you telling us that AC/DC is tasteful music, that it is the "outward expression of an interior cultivation"?

It seems that your tastes vacillate between the highs and the lows, between the gutter and the stars (or at least between Verdi and AC/DC). But is rock culture as vulgar and moronic as you suggest in your comparison of Pantera and Verdi? Personally, I don't think so. I think you are buying into stereotypes if you suggest this.
