Is it using LBM what you think is in "bad taste," or the targets and 
execution of the actual barbs?

If spoofing  LBM  is what's in bad taste (as some others have 
implied) , explain to me why "world music" should be immune from 
skewering, any more than jazz, pop, hi-hop, classical or any other 
popular music form?

I'm sorry, but LBM has become a parody of themselves in ythe last 
decade... they outlived (or out-marketed) their sacred place in 'the 
pantheon,' I think.

>we also need more hope for World Music.

That seems rather a dire statement... is "world music" an especially 
endangered species, compared to any other genre?   An awful lot of 
what falls under the big WM umbrella looks pretty damned healthy to me.
