There are people out there who get mightily pissed when their secret 
little band achieves any notable level of success -- there were 
Auditeers who were nearly furious when "Stacy's Mom" hit, as I

anything that's overtly shooting for an audience beyond 12 people. 
These people can be safely ignored.
