In a way, I would like to think so. But remember that Chopin hated Berlioz, and Nietzsche hated Plato, and Shaw wasn't too crazy about Shakespeare. We all have our own tastes. Also, I believe that with an open mind, certain things that were once lost on you begin to touch your sensibilities. To Cindy: maybe your boss's work will begin to "sink in" one day, and its merits, however meager, will be caught by your eye. Maybe his work represents a philosophy in the language of emotion or intellect that you are, in a broad sense, resolutely against, and therefore your inhibitions refuse to let you appreciate the work on its own terms. Then again, maybe these "awards" and "laurels" that he has been receiving are nothing more than recognitions of some purely technical ability, and his popularity rests on the people who are in awe of his work's production values, and who find little to appreciate beyond that. Nobody has unimpeachable taste except *time*.
