My record collection containing music by at least a hundred different
groups and artists that I respect, and the fact that I respect hundreds
of groups and artists that aren't represented in my record collection,
should be conclusive proof that you have my opinions regarding a "few"
muscians perfectly straight, huh?

Oh, yeah!  I have the complete works of The B52s and the Tom Tom Club,
and love them so much because they are oh so serene and serious, just
like all the music I listen to.

And the fact that I dislike Madonna is because her music is "fun".  All
music should be depressing!  Why I dislike her "music", has nothing to
do with the fact that it is a formulaic, unoriginal, profit-oriented
commercial product which pollutes the muscal domain so much that it is
difficult for real artists to make a living and that promotes being a
tease and manipulating others.
