Sorry, Johnny. No more walking the line, it's time to take a stand.

So there is a lot of music that I don't really, appreciate per se, but I can sortof kindof understand that SOMEONE out there might like it.

Except for Barenakedladies. They suck. When I catch myself in a grocery store humming along to a BareNakedLadies song, I want to puke. Being surrounded, usually, with people who either do not object, or else actually LIKE them has made me keep it in too long.

I remember when i was like 15 and me and my best friend liked that first trendy "one week since you looked at me--yada yada yada" + "lots of other fast words that make the song fun to try and sing when they play it on the radio every five minutes" song for a while, and then i heard another of their songs and realized that the only reason the first one was tolerable was because the frontman was singing so FAST that you couldn't quite notice that he has such an annoying voice. Very tricky, BNL, veeeeerrrrry tricky.

And approximately just one second ago, I almost typed an apology to anyone that I might offend by this message of unacceptance (they almost tricked me again!), but no, world! It's time we take a stand! Let's progress beyond bad music. Let's evolve weird al and barenakedladies RIGHT OFF our airwaves, itunes, pandoras, and burned 90s mix cds with the likes of third eye blind and fastball. Am I being harsh? Perhaps. But we have to draw the line of integrity somewhere. Hasta NO manana, BNL.
