Ruth,

I wasn't disagreeing with Michael; I was endorsing his disagreement with 
Adorno.

Being prescriptive about art is always a mug's game, in my view. Even 
saying that you should never be prescriptive about art is probably too 
prescriptive - because I do quite like some manifestos, for example the 
Imagist manifesto.
