I read your original redacted -- great word choice, by the way -- post as a flame against araneae. Which I guess shows my bias against Lil Wayne.
One distinction between me and "the other people" (I don't know what the hell to call them) is that I will allow myself to get convinced that Lil Wayne is worthwhile. I have been convinced to listen to great rap. But, I can ramble all day about how awesome Bach is, and I'm either preaching to the choir or preaching to people who have no interest in understanding your "god." No, I don't mean god is Bach.
People shut off their brain to visiting mormons the same way they shut off their brain when you start talking about great art. They simply refuse to think that way.
There is a very specific quotient of structure in things that are higher art. It is just hard to find people who can, or even want to, acclimate themselves to understanding said structure. It takes a lot of energy.
Easy music. Easy books. Easy food! These things are just like candy. I can see how such things appeal to people (compassion), since they are saturated with the easy-good-stuff. And I am not entirely immune to sweets or easy hooks; however, I have grown up.
