There is this weird dichotomy I feel when this subject comes up.

On the one hand, there is the cultured tongue/ear that i have developed by being forced to listen to new (to me) music for no less than 8 hours a day while at conservatory for ten freakin' years. I remember with horrifying detail the nightmares my psyche was subjected to in the wee hours during my Masters second semester when i was forced to memorize hours of 20th century classical (new/arthouse/holyshithinkmysoulisbeinganalprisonraped) music. But out of all that mess there were glorious moments when things opened up and what i once found indefensible, i grew to love and listened to music in new and different ways.

On the other hand, who the hell are you to tell me that something is good or it totally sucks you douchebag!?

This very subject and my subsequent hostility flares up even among members of my own band. “How the hell can you think Fugazi sucks? Are you insane? Did mommy force you to play with dead kitties and eat toenails for breakfast!?”

I think the one thing that i (and maybe you) can take from this feeling is that I love music. I really love music. And i personalize it. Like, I eat ramen to listen/play music and I cry over stupid chord progressions in Au Clair de la Lune as if they were the dialogue to my soul's Requiem. Whatever. So you love music. And you personalize it. Heck, we aren't just fans of The Clash. We are in The Clash. And if someone doesn't like our music, then bollocks to 'em.

I hate Tony Kornheiser and I hate Pardon The Interruption. And its the highest rated ESPN show. Thanks ESPN for going the way of SI into total irrelevancy.

Thanks Steve. Fixed.

Jim Roderick's quotes are ludicrous. So McKinney has limited options for health care? Well, it is good thing Planned Parenthood is around to help out all them po' folks. Are they offering dialysis? How about dental?

I'd be happy to take one for the team and go topless. And I'm sure that my nipples are equally as hairy as their own women.
