pop v. prog

In a recent courtroom battle involvng members of the musical elite, it was decided that progressive rock and pop should no longer be considered music.  The judge, the honorable Seymour B. Keanney, layed down his ruling in a landmark decision based on the fact that too many people listen to pop for it to be considered music and not enough people listen to prog for it to be considered music.  Critics of this decision argued that this is just a "don't ask, don't tell" solution to a problem that has extremely important cultural ramifications.  But proponents of the decision were relieved stating that this puts to rest any argument that we actually ever gave a damn.
