It sounds like a takeoff on Kingsley Amis's 1957 novel, Lucky Jim "The hero of that comic novel, Jim Dixon, not only showed no mercy toward anything bogus but exhibited an unashamed philistinism. When he overhears someone singing he identifies the tune as 'some skein of untiring facetiousness by filthy Mozart.' At the time, that was truly shocking, and attracted horrified comment." http://www.robertfulford.com/2004-05-25-amis.html) The character of Lucky Jim, the original "angry young man", hated Mozart, folk music, madrigal singing and everything he associated with the upper classes and/or affectation. and doubtless this would have included gardening. The book was extremely influential and very very funny. But as time went on, Amis turned into a tiresome alcoholic crank. What could be more affected than a pose of hating Mozart and other good things, after all? This post was edited by monarda on Tue, Sep 9, 14 at 15:43
