Huh?

Maybe they played Schoenberg where you live ... but I never heard of
this kind of stuff until much later in my life when I did some serious
musical studies. Maybe not serious enough ... I think that Schoenberg
and other of that ilk are no better than the rap you mentioned earlier
and are really just examples of folks showing how smart they (thing)
they are.

But, when I was growing up the radio featured the Everly Bros, Beatles, etc.
