Bill McLaughlin*, host of the NPR radio program Saint Paul Sunday, also discussed the use of "classical music." He allowed as how he couldn't really come up with a better term, and that the canon hi mav! is established mainly by those-who-determine-what-their-orchestras/choruses-will-play/sing-each-year worldwide.

So I guess we gotta include John Cage.
