And I don't like Arnold Schoenberg, because I don't like his haircut and
because he never used an underarm deodorant.  (Take *that*, Jeff Winslow! :-)

Alan Schmidt is quite right when he says that discussion of music that hinges
on "he drips enough grease to cook a large order of fries and he's ugly" does
NOT belong in a newsgroup that discusses music.  In fact, I'd said that people
whose musical tastes are based on such criteria (positively or negatively) have
little reason to discuss (or even listen to?) music at all.
