An "amen" from this corner....with an added slant that I've noticed a
lot less of the pathetic elitism that used to reign unchecked here. I
get real tired of seeing people slammed for liking ____l or ______(fill
in the blanks) as if the gavel wielders had no musical roots and just
popped out of the head of Zeus or something with a handful of white
labels and exclusive rights to the future of good taste. It's refreshing
NOT to have to weed through a hundred emails poo-pooing somebody who
likes something that is not this weeks latest flavor. Not that I have
ANYTHING against this week's latest flavor, mind you. In fact, I'd love
to get my hands on the new Jake Mandell....
