Figure Skating's Popularity Decline

Hmm... How many artists were derided by audiences and ignored only to be highly acclaimed later? Start with Van Gogh and go from there.

I don't think that instituting a paint-by-numbers evaluation system in the art world, like the CoP, would help future Van Goghs.

Anyway, why can't we have both, Mozart and Kagel Nacht? (Admission: I have never heard of Kagel Nacht. I Googled "obscure avant garde composer" and his name popped up. )
