El Jefe Maximo,

I sound very similar to you. Conservative politically (after a flirtation with the left in my college days), love classical music, this fall you may find me driving into the grouse woods with my 870 in the back of my suburban (or brother’s or father’s) listening to Rachmaninoff or very possibly the Grateful Dead. Either that or we’ll be cutting wood (need a couple cord for up north, and I am hoping to have three-four cord for home).

There is definitely a strain of conservatism that would recoil to certain aspects of that. Wait a minute, I’ll go and dig up the exact passage:
The anti-intellectual Left may depress me, but family quarrels being the fiercest, it takes the anti-intellectual Right to infuriate me. My particular betes noires are the moronic oxen known as “populist conservatives,” who turn hostile if you even let it be known that you enjoy public television. Opera and Britcoms set them off the most, prompting their favorite putdown, “The world’s richest man is a Harvard dropout.” http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Misanthrope%27s+Corner.-a078692101
