Remind me never to indulge into *anything* political on this list. :-)
Drew, you're quite an analist. :-) I am not an ultra-socialist either, I
only said I didn't like the Beatles and neither do I like George Bush (both
of them).

OK, time to admit it. I love The Weather Girls! I like a lot of stuff from
Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson (and Gram Parson). I have about 10
Cajun records. I have a disco collection that can make my friends jealous!
I'M A BIG FAN OF DISCO AND COUNTRY/WESTERN MUSIC!!!
There, I said it. Now stone me or whatever. I don't have a tunnel-visioned
sight on music; I just think that The Beatles are CRAP! That's my opinion.
If you like 'em, that's great. Sidenote; I do like Ringo Starr's solo work,
*AND* I have a lot of his stuff from his recent live tours with the
all-starr-bands. "Photograph" is one of my favourite songs. And I also like
McCartney's solo/Wings stuff... But for the rest of it... YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! :-)
I like both The Who and disco music. But I *don't* like The Beatles, not
matter how important they where for rock history.
I just keep hearing they where that important, kinda like how important
Elvis Presley was for rock music. And I don't like Elvis' music either!
IMO, compared to The Who's music, The Beatles sound flat & dull (lyrics &
music).
And I don't like Beethoven, Bach and Mozart either.
I don't care if they where Gods, I don't like 'em! :-)
