Nope - I detest the vocal gymnastics of Mariah and Celine now as much as I
detested the sterile pap of Helen Reddy in her day. I liked rock and roll
from the bubblegum of "Indian Giver" to the majesty of Hendrix and I still
do. I think I've always found something to rally around and I'm not ashamed
of a note of it. I continue to marvel at the buzz I get by immersing myself
in music and what an effect it has had on me every day of my life.

I've always loved talking about music with others, reading all I could find
about it, and listening to whatever anyone had to say about it. That's a
whale-load of opinions flying around, but I'm secure in the fact that the
only one that means anything for me at the end of the day is mine.
