So let me see if I understand your logic...or, is it just an insult, because someone doesn't ADORE something piece you do? "Famous," then, is a synonym for "Good"? If you say so. Therefore, Garth Brooks ins 7000 times better than Miles Davis or Hendrix. The Backstreet Boys are rapidly surpasing Lennon and McCarney's band in "good"-ness. And on and on. Equating Fame with musical competence is INFANTILE. But enjoy your god-given right to Vapidity. Be a good fan. Never think critically. And always -- always -- insinuate that people who are "famous" can't possibly be "good." Curdmudgeon
