[kj] Perceptions so far.

[Jiri]

Right, but you can't take (or "repeat") the myriad comments of a clearly 
diverse-opinion-holding (other than our universally unhealthy love for 
Joke music) group of people and then pit these comments against each 
other as if they were all issued by one entity. I despise country; my 
sister loves country. We are of the same family, but our contrasting 
opinions do not magically meld to make us one collective hypocrite.

There's a bunch of different opinions on this list which variously 
overlap and contradict -- that's why it's sweet (to me). The people who 
approach the music from completely different perspectives from me do 
more to help me appreciate aspects of the music than I ever otherwise could.
