13 Stupid Things I Rant About, and 20 Awesome Things I Rave About

[britpoptarts]

I've been a crappy correspondent. You guys can always tell when Real Life is wearing me down, because I vanish for a while. Some days it is too exhausting to even type. Knowhutimean, jellybeans?

But I am feeling less weighted down in general. Even so, I will catch you up on the bad and good, in that order. Special bonus, I go light on the political

Wow, you sure told me. ;) Didn't mean to ruffle feathers, dear one. Seriously not.

I was just in a grump. Typically I like stuff better live, yes. Towards the later years, though, a lot of that enjoyment has been due to the company I had at shows.

I don't expect everyone to agree with my taste. No, really. I might worry if someone's absolute fave group is, say, The Eagles, though. *tiny shudder*

They'll always occupy a soft spot in my heart, but no, I don't always agree with the choices they make. Again, just seems like pandering to the non-fan, which is mostly a lost cause, and ignoring what old fans like most about their stuff.

Also, you'll note that I said nothing about J & N. I think they have a permapass for general awesomeness above and beyond the call of duty.

Also, I deliberately made no mention of the GOOD stuff, like GOOD friends I made back in the day, few of whom I still hear from, but still. By hiding online for the past couple of years, the amount of TARDY Duranies I meet has dwindled to near zero. I like it like that.

Don't hate.

And they don't need or want my approval. They have enough bajillions to live like rajahs. They can have their fun time, but I don't have to be excited by Justin fucking Timberlake or Timbaland. Srsly. I hate that crap. I don't know if I could get beyond it, frankly. And I still see it as trying to be hip and cool among a crowd of non-fans, which is unlikely to happen.

I still like several of the albums most people like to hate. I still drop an occasional DD track into the DJ list. No "big pants and backwards cap" songs need apply, though.

Also, I love my K-girl. Even if you said you had a deep and undying love for Jimmy Buffet, I'd love you 4eva.

Maybe you can change my pointy little mind. It happens. I'm not so stubborn.
