Your point is well taken (In fact I agree wholehartedly that there is *no* criteria for objectively determining whether a song is good or bad, it's entirely subjective!); however, the reason I commented on the WHAM! song is because I really don't like the mentality it portrays; I like an artist to show that they have something other than sex on their mind all the time. I like a change of pace, ya know! Not just another boring <subjective> song about the same thing as most other top-40 hits. -- "What do you want from life?" "uh, I don't know that! Aaauuughhhh!!!" come on, you know where these two quotes are from, don't ya?? Jeff Lewis vvvvvvvvvvvv {decvax|ucbvax|allegra|seismo|harpo|teklabs|ihnp4}!pur-ee!lewie ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Whatever happened to songs with intellectual content to their lyrics and
unpretentious videos?
....Hmmmm. Musta been when Pink Floyd stopped recording, or when Cyndi
Lauper, et. al. became popular... :-)
