Why?
Billy Joel made the jump from "pop" to classical (
).
and
David Byrne has done it several times (
DavidByrne.com - Music).
so has
Danny Elfman (BEFORE:
Oingo Boingo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... AFTER:
just listen to about anything he's done for movie soundtracks).
and
Elvis Costello (
The Juliet Letters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
I'm not saying that it's all GOOD just that being a pop artist doesn't preclude one from loftier ideas and potential.
