There's a difference, but a lot of people don't recognize it, so I think intellectualizing it somehow "avenges" them, and I've convinced people to at least appreciate Haino in that light. They don't need to like it, but it seems wrong for them to call it talentless.

Yeah that's cool. The only thing is that by trying to transfer the enthusiasm thet you have for Keiji Haino's music to someone who doesn't know him you'd better avoid trying to ''intellectualise'' his music, 'cause the average man on the street is not interested in knowing more ''socio-political'' or ''technical'' stuff about him (if he is at all), he'd rather hear something by him that strikes him as good to his ears.
