I hate how people are judgmental bastards about music!!
Love and wars and walruses and disillusionment. Sounds like the time my girlfriend broke up with me at Sea World.
Love and wars and walruses and disillusionment. Sounds like the time my girlfriend broke up with me at Sea World.LOL! Oh, poor Dave, I shouldn't laugh. On the other hand, that sounds like great material for a story. Do you write, Dave?
Occasionally. I have two stories in my My Writing section on my profile. I find it hard to motivate myself to write unless it's for a specific project or contest.
Hey, everyone! Dave has a story about breaking up with his girlfriend at Sea World! You all want him to write it, don't you???Okay, working on some motivation for you, Dave...
hear hearI think when people put down other's music choices, it stems from their own sense of inferiority.
Does your ire extend to people who THINK snarky comments but don't SAY them?Because if it does...
In my heart of hearts I don't think badly of people because of what they listen to and realize that everyone has their own unique reasons for liking what they do.
However, I am a fallible human being and when I hear someone professing their love for Mariah Carey or Limp Bizkit I do have an internal chuckle at their expense.
Take this for what it's worth coming from a woman who owns a few Monkees lps and has a soft spot for Neil Diamond.
Limp Bizkit...:::snicker:::
I don't know about Limp Bizkit's music, but certainly their name sucks.
DO NOT SEEK IT OUT!They make Korn look almost credible which is a horrendous act in itself.
I like U2, and the Monkees, and Neil Diamond. Not everything by them, but c'mon. "Pleasant Valley Sunday" is biting satire and fun to sing, too.I always crack up at the beginning of "Vertigo" by U2, when Bono counts out "Uno, dos, tres, catorce!"
Which translates to "One, two, three, fourteen!"
Oh, Sarah. Don't take any shit from a U2 loving...*actively restraining myself from saying what I feel*..."person".
Give into the dark side and become a judgemental jerk like the rest of us!
Eeek! Sorry, Jackie!I just really hate U2.
No worries. They are one of those bands you either love or hate. I hate Journey, you hate U2.
Arch ennemy?Fine!
I'll love you even more now.
Read somewhere that when you answer hate with love, you pile burning coals on that person's head.
Which begs the question, if you love someone just to pile coals over their head, are you really loving them?
Sarah, ignore him. He's a jerk with no imagination. I like U2 and 10,000 Maniacs, but they are "part of this nutritious breakfast", you know? 
Eh screw him! Of course I evaluate a person by the music they listen to, but judge harshly I can't. Otherwise I would have gotten divorced a long time ago!I'm shocked all you peeps even know the monkeys. Oh what a crush I had on Davey Jones. *blush*
Lori.......even I know the monkees. and i dont know led nor bo.but I have to admit, I didnt know a word of english when i watched their tv show.
did they do a pepsi commercial cause in my head "heeeeey we're the monkeys" is followed by "the choice of a new generation"?
"Hey Hey we're the Monkeys" is their song, followed by something like "we're the new generation." Pepsi changed it.I thought the Monkeys died out by the time I turned 10! Haha. Carlie, what language did you speak?

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a moose
Kissing a goose?"
Down by the bay.
Oh, Raffi! He's one of the few kid's musicians I actually like. Robin in the Rain is one of my favorites.
Is this some kind of contest??? Guess what Montambo is listening???? Here my guess:I'm sick of it. Shut up. If I want to listen to Bon Jovi or Avril Lavigne, or even (God forbid), Vanilla Ice, then that is my prerogative. Shut up! It's very immature.
Which CD?I enjoy the Velvet Underground but I am unsure as to what liking them has to say about a person's character.
They took their name from a book about deviant sexuality and they recorded a song called "Heroin". Do either of these apply to you?
How dare he! He has no right to dictate your musical taste from beyond the break-up, or comment on if you've changed. You are your own person, not some creation of his. I'm very glad you're not with this jerk, he sounds very controlling.
Besides, it's not like you were listening to bluegrass or anything. THAT would be heinous!
Wait, maybe she is his creation. You're not a golem or a robot, are you Sarah?
Montambo, what was he listining to when you caught him looking in your bedroom window???
But how would you know. Hey, maybe we're all characters in a Philip K Dick book. Now I'm scared. I'm going to bed.
Just kidding about bluegrass. It's just not my favorite genre, because sometimes the singing can be too nasally. Alison Krauss is cool, though.You might want to talk to the police about this ex, though. And any neighbors you can enlist to watch out for you, too. This looking into your bedroom window sounds like stalker behavior to me, which can escalate into pretty dangerous stuff. I want you safe, Sarah M. And not just because you're a fellow librarian.
Actually that sounds serious. I'm sorry I made my last posts before reading yours.
It does sound scary… I second what Jackie said… when you get creepy mo fos like that is better safe than sorry…
Montambo, I used to think that everybody turned in to monsters when I wasn’t looking at then =P
First, you are right to hate the Red Hot Chili Peppers.Second, I forgot that he likes 10,000 Maniacs and U2 (who probably like The Velvet Underground) and won't listen to anything else.
I am so sorry you have to work with this person, he sounds like a controlling creep.
Have you introduced him to Steve yet? Mr. Mort has managed to drive away a few of my unwelcome suitors.
I'm only a monster when I'm really hungry and tired. I guess I'm a cookie monster...
Dave, I love the real you. I want to scratch your ears!
Stop trying to scare me y'all!!! Jackie, my cousin does this impersonation of the cookie monster... and it's not like it scares me... but it freaks the living shit out of me she likes to chase me around the house screaming COOKIE MONSTER!!! And is creepy!!!
Dave, if you are a weiner dog riding in a bike basket I will feed you all the peanut butter cookies you want.
Awww. She likes you, Alfonso. Girls don't chase people unless they like them. But unless you are running away from me while holding a plate of cookies, I wouldn't be chasing you. And my Cookie Monster impression is pathetic.
I'd be in the kitchen, staring in the refrigerator, wondering why there's never anything good to eat. And then, I'd probably sigh and have a bowl of cereal.
What about a half wiener-dog/half chihuahua sitting on a chair?
wow, stalking is not cool unless you are concern about the individual's safety.
aw, poor sarah. your ex sounds a lot like my ex. the last time i talked to him he told me that he was very disappointed that i had reverted to my "bad" taste after we broke up. he had hated pretty much everything i liked, which mostly included television shows and music, and had somehow managed to convince me that it was all crap, so i gave them up. but once i was free, i got myself a netflix account and an itunes card and started watching marathons of buffy and x-files and listening to poe and nine inch nails again. it was pretty much the best feeling ever.
alright, now this happens all the time, how come you guys are dating crazy, selfish, paint-eating men? weren't they always that way? Or is the "hating phase" part of healing? I'm going to leave now before getting publicly stoned.
ull b publicly stoned if you meant women in general. Cause I married my first bf and hes wonderful.or were u referring to Mary J in public?
I'd be in the kitchen, staring in the refrigerator, wondering why there's never anything good to eat. And then, I'd probably sigh and have a bowl of cereal. Wow, I think I reenact this scene 6-7 times a day. I go through a lot of cereal that way.

No, I like them because I like their music, which evolved from simple songs about love to crazy, complex songs about wars and walruses and disillusionment, and love, too.
