"A musical snob, guilty of snobbery, is a person who adopts the world-view that some people's musical tastes are inherently inferior to others for any one of a variety of reasons."

People Get Ready!
I think it's time that we had another rock and roll revolution.
What do you think you're doing now E? This counts as a revolution of sorts. And unlike a lot of those things you mention, this one isn't about youth!!!
I'm being partly ridiculous, but really, music blogging is a little bit punk; the writing/internet equivalent of learning three chords and going out and forming a band, isn't it?
Right on, Simon! That makes me feel a lot better. I turned 40 and thought that the corperate world, having a family and a mortgage etc had sucked whatever "punk" was in me right down the toilet. But I see and agree with you 100%. I do need to be a little more angst-y though...
I think middle-aged angst is the sound of the new millenium. Screw youth! Let's take back the music world, the kids f*cked it all up and only we can save it.
It's time, alright...FOR WAR UNIVERSE!!!
