BOC/OFF: Repercussion of a bad musical trip

[Joseph Brooks]

I don't think I "throw loads of abuse" in most cases, I just explain why I
dislike something in the best way my old brain can. I try always to
acknowledge the fact of differing tastes and to not confuse the worth of a
persons musical taste with their worth as a person. Lord knows, most of my
current favorite bands would be scorned without mercy in this group.. and
that's ok, gives me a chance to argue the point and give everyone something
to post about.

I suppose we (I) could try harder to have some vague connection to the topic
of the list though... They don't call me Babblin' Brooks for nothing, ya
know?

                Well, it's not like I'm going to stop you.  I might tell you
that
                throwing loads of abuse at other people's favorite bands
isn't a real
                fine thing to be doing.  But there's nothing that can make
                you agree with me.  :-)
