I've got no...That's an interesting metric.<br /><br />I've got nothing against him. I wouldn't go out of my way to see or hear him, but he doesn't offend me. <br /><br />I read years ago someone quoting Alice Cooper commenting on being compared to David Bowie. Cooper said, "Bowie is an artist. I'm an entertainer." I thought that was a very wise comment. <br /><br />I prefer artists. Farnham is an entertainer and he's good at doing what he does so I can't begrudge him that. Having said that, I see your point that Farnham fans may have rather pedestrian tastes, but there are many worse options around. Jimmy Barnes for a start. <br /><br />I guess that's another thing that pisses me off about all the reality shows - it's entertainment pretending to be art.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412983524190021368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942719624481214321.post-80714478520908750622012-05-23T09:57:31.564+10:002012-05-23T09:57:31.564+10:00For a moment I thought you were going to say "...For a moment I thought you were going to say "listening to crap like Kate Bush".

I don’t know anyone who likes him that doesn’t have, well, crap taste in music generally. I don’t know a single person whose tastes are similar to mine who also thinks he’s okay.Lad Litterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888240712204499841noreply@blogger.com
