Zaki liked Cheryl's status update Cheryl is finished with The Rest Is Noise: At the beginning of the 21st century, it no longer makes sense to pit pop music against classical.

It's ridiculous fluff and therefore ridiculously entertaining, and I love the characters and the way everything turns out.
