Thank you for this, William - I enjoyed it very much, and thought it was a well reasoned argument to my own post.

I've really upset a lot of people, simply by having a different opinion - however I wanted to thank you for not making your piece a personal attack.

Long may JC's music bring you the joy and happiness he brings to so many! 🙏🏼🧡

I sometimes get bored with Jacob Collier's albums after a few listens, but the audience choir videos I've seen are deeply moving in a way that's hard to articulate (love the "Wild Mountain Thyme" one you can find on YouTube). I hope to be able to go to one of his concerts someday--it looks like a beautiful experience!

I’ve never heard of jacob collier, but enjoyed your analysis! When 18th century speaks to present day, we are on to something. Love the concluding sentence!

Cogent as always. Though, I must say, Samuel Johnson must be history’s coolest uncool person.

Thank you! I love Samuel Johnson, even when he's wrong.
