Thing about Baryshnikov was that he was so good, you didn&#x27;t have to like ballet to be floored by his performances.<p>Some people don&#x27;t like museums. I think that&#x27;s largely because they haven&#x27;t been to a great one, like the Met in New York or the Louvre. The second-raters (like everything in Los Angeles, for example, and I say this as a proud former Angeleno, actually are boring. Misha was like that in ballet.<p>I don&#x27;t watch ballet anymore either, because I haven&#x27;t seen anyone else like him in his prime.<p>Source: Not a ballet fan before, or after, Baryshinikov at his best
