smart music for dumb people

[Steven Skane]

Ah, flaming from Robert M Mayo. No, it is from Robert B. Mayo.

Sure I judge you. It is hard not to judge the sort of fool that thinks
intelligence is something for scientists in a university and has nothing to
do with music.....or at least nothing to do with the type of music he
prefers. I do agree that intelligence has a limited involvement in the
Ramones and AC/DC and thus recommend them to Robert C. Mayo but not to
Robert Z. Mayo or Robert B. Mayo, or Robert F. Mayo. Thank God you put the B
in there, otherwise I may have mixed youu...hanging on it is a C. Thank God
you put the C in their otherwise I may have mixed you up with the dozens of
other Robert Mayo's on this list. Of course, if you are the only Robert Mayo
on this it may be considered rather pretentious to bang the initial between
your names. Roll out the Rush...

You are right. I am a snob and usually can't be bothered with drooling
idiots like you. Rush and Yes are dull and pretentious with woeful lyrics.
The lyrics are probably the worst thing about these bands. There is nothing
wrong with liking them but it is funny you think it gives you intellectual
creds. It does the opposite although I am sure Mensa parties groove to them
lol. The megabright brigade usually sneer at all rock music and listen to
classical music. Be glad your stupidity allows you to be easily impressed by
a huge range of crap in every field of human endeavour - it makes life
easier. It is highly amusing you feel so personally insulted when my point
was that smarter people have a larger range of concepts and words to draw on
and if they have the talented they are far better than dumb people at making
music as it is an intellectual endeavour. To bad you are so stupid you think
intelligence means being a scientists and you have never noticed the role
intelligence play's in music. I didn't call myself smart because most people
like me are painfully aware of how ignorant we are. Whereas your stupidity
never occurs to you on a conscious level even though you appear to have
developed quite a problem over it in taking an offhand comment so
personally. Maybe you were called dumb by your mother or at school or your
life isn't going well.  Anyway, someone has to clean the streets....
