Michele writes a fairly interesting blog, but she can be something of a blowhard and rather snotty about people who do not share her tastes. I frankly don't care if she is a perpetual tomboy and all the guys in the blogger neighborhood drool over that, taking a stance like this one is going to backfire on her.

She's not a good prognosticator of cultural means.

Of course, we were blasting it, digitally remastered, out of sub-woofer steroes that could be heard half a mile away.

Our ex-hippie art teacher loved the fact that he could bring in his old Pink Floyd records to play during art class for *our* enjoyment as much as his. He saw some osrt of sociological significance in the fact that our generation was "the first to reject its own music."
