but, dude, if you told some straight-out-the-suburbs white trash wigga that Kid Rock was "dumb-as- bricks music" with an entertaining "bad kitsch" that was high in "dada irony," he'd probably call you a faggot and push you really hard. i think the true dada irony is to be found in begining this post with "Among anyone who has truly cultivated their taste in music to a high degree in this day and age, there is xxxxx" and end it by incinuating that Wells is elitist for calling praise of Kid Rock ("dumb-as-bricks music") retarded. ,rj../ ___,">www.gl.umbc.edu/~nworth1
