Gee Doug I don't know whether to thank you or shoot you. You have spoiled my apprecialtion for Madonna with your posting of her quotes. Gosh how could I be so gullable? I'll never love top 40 again :-) Years of music appreciation classes down the drain, put to death by your MIT logic. Oh no, I'll burn my Michal Jackson, my Madonna, my <insert your favorite to hate here> records and shave my head and listen to Kate until *I* achieve the enlightment you obviously now have. :-) I guess that no one on earth can have different tastes maybe you'll voulenteer to be cloned so we only need a few muscians and they could be cloned too. :-) No one is to listen to music for fun from now on. It must be SERIOUS, there will be no more fun music. :-) Dave Bottom DEC Augusta Maine !dec-rhea!dec-katadn!bottom ps; I can't stand madonna but hey that's *my* opinion and I don't resent those who actually like her, It's their business. fade out... suddenly in the background: the sounds of people laughing then over the loudspeakers:"Laughter, laughter, laughter in the music room, away the morale supression team. all hands stand clear of all ladders and passageways" Funny that sounded like Doug

> [From Dave Bottom:] > I guess that no one on earth can have different tastes maybe you'll > voulenteer to be cloned so we only need a few muscians and they could > be cloned too. :-) My record collection containing music by at least a hundred different groups and artists that I respect, and the fact that I respect hundreds of groups and artists that aren't represented in my record collection, should be conclusive proof that you have my opinions regarding a "few" muscians perfectly straight, huh? > No one is to listen to music for fun from now on. It must be SERIOUS, > there will be no more fun music. :-) Oh, yeah! I have the complete works of The B52s and the Tom Tom Club, and love them so much because they are oh so serene and serious, just like all the music I listen to. And the fact that I dislike Madonna is because her music is "fun". All music should be depressing! Why I dislike her "music", has nothing to do with the fact that it is a formulaic, unoriginal, profit-oriented commercial product which pollutes the muscal domain so much that it is difficult for real artists to make a living and that promotes being a tease and manipulating others.
