If someone is going to dismiss the Beach Boys entire oeuvre as, oh, I dunno, "whitebread glee-club Chuck Berry rip-offs", or write off Steely Dan as, let's say, "muso-wank stereo demonstration snooze-rock", then I might conclude that person didn't know what the fuck they were talking about. If I felt like displaying a little more generosity of spirit, I might say to myself, "Well, perhaps that person just hasn't listened to enough of it". But like I said in an earlier post, life's too short. You don't like it? Fine. K.I.M. Me, I can't abide Michael Bolton, but I'm damned if I'm going to waste my time <em>hating</em> him.</div></blockquote>

	I'm not seeing much hate here, just goofing.  It's not like the thread wasn't clearly marked for what it was all about.  The title puts up a road flare that should have been an easy-to-spot stay-away- warning for people who don't like this sort of thing.<br />

	If there were a Michael Bolton Appreciation thread, would you even go into it?  It seems like you're wasting your time by clicking on a thread you know you won't like.
