Ouch.
You got a point there judge! I agree. There is plenty of craziness and dogma that goes around that is used to try and make the high end seem more special than perhaps it really is? Also a fair share of total nonsense. Things fit for a cult but nothing ever really big or earth shattering enough for many to ever really care.
FWIW I went to Lyric only once late in the day on a weekend (or was it Christmas Eve perhaps) several years back. My experience was similar to glupson. I was the only one there at the time but the guy let me look around in peace then offered a listen to the stuff in the big room in the back. Just one visit but nice enough. I was dressed casually but decent by upper east side standards most likely that day. Did a lot of walking around the city that day.
