I’ll leave it up to you, DDG.
I don’t sing along to that radio song, as a matter of fact.
I don’t feel guilty about any of the music that I like, and neither should (or I suspect does) jarbabyj.
I do, however, own the Milli Vanilli CD, but bought it used after the fact. It really isn’t that bad.
In other threads, jarbabyj said she was crushed by my harsh views on this topic. She should realize they were stated in satire. My lawyer has told me jarbabyj pretty much runs the East Coast and has instructed me to re-post the following.
If it’s any consolation, jarbabyj, I don’t think any more or less of you because you listen to 'N Sync. You would be very foolish to care what I think of you anyway. You shouldn’t post a thread like that in the Pit if you don’t want ranting you may find hurtful. What do I care what music you listen to? If you listened to only to Rammstein and the good Metallica, it wouldn’t say anything about your personality regardless of what else you listen to too. My favourite non-jazz groups include The Pixies, Dire Straits, Paul Simon, Earlier Albums By The Same Alternative Bands Still Big Today plus Nirvana, Robert Cray, Jay-Z, Peter Gabriel, the Beatles, Metallica, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Offspring. I rarely listen to classical music these days. Anyhow, the legal bit:
The problem here is that you are a walking dichotomy. This is shown in your music, of course, but also in this thread… since you like both the bad boys and lovin’ Lance. People will try to pigeon hole you into something since it makes them feel like they know you better or they can act accordingly superior. But people can’t be pigeon-holed so easily. Get over it. Maybe I’d like karaoke more if I could sing. There is nothing wrong with being a walking dichotomy, the smartest people are.
Was it Walt Whitman who said?
“Do I contradict myself?
Very well, I contradict myself.
(I am large. I contain multitudes.)”
