I suppose my intial response is from too much exposure to shallow intolerable narcissists with the annoying habit of turning everything into an opportunity to criticize, mock, ridicule or offer unsolicted opinions. Unlike comedians, they are not being funny...just shallow, insensitive, mindless dolts. I've become intolerate of such types and I do know that it's not about me,etc. Still one has to deal with the behavior and problem. I enjoy British humor, but I'm a bigger fan of the mystery. At least they've got the good sense to oft the annoying characters at the onset, leaving the more interesting types for the rest of the story.

Clearly if Hugo were truely embarassed about this cheesey section of his musical taste he wouldn't have made it so public. Maybe this take on Hugo's post is due to my innate British sense of irony... or maybe not. Now I must go and do something constructive!!!

I would think them trite and petty and I wouldn't hesitate to write them off as a borish control freak who needs to get a life. I don't have an Ipod and my CD player is currently not working, but I've invested in a sleepmate which sounds like the ocean surf and I'm glad I did. It soothes me to sleep. Good grief, life is difficult enough without having to deal with a mindless miscreant, fool and idiot with issues over one's musical tastes.

It's immensely silly, of course.

If you like something, you listen to it. Anyone who gives you flak can go to hell. Why is that so difficult?
