 for New Yorkers. (Joseph, do your friends say the Velvet Underground is
 cool? they should, right? it's simpleminded of me to compare a single
 chord to a simple chord progression, isn't it? some kinds of irony are
 beyond me.)

 Yes, they say VU is cool and why should they not? After all they were a New 
Yawk band in the best (or worst) sense. The point I was trying to make is 
that people tend to like or dislike something for arbitrary reasons--meaning 
that my snobbish (although not all, I just had some annoying Kultur 
conversations that week)--friends would not like The Velvet Underground if 
they were from Ohio. I, on the other hand, would do not care where a band 
comes from; it is the music that counts. One digression I find interesting: I 
have noticed that the most snobbish of New Yorkers are those who move here 
from other parts of the US; the locals are not nearly as bad.
