And even if you do truely dislike the band, I think it's important to respect the history of the other bands you do like. I realize this sounds
cruel, and I'm sorry for that, but when I first read your "Screw the Pogues" post, I was reminded of Avril Lavigne's "David Bowie" (pronounced like
"Howie") incident. To me, they were both in the "how can you not know your history" vein.
But all of that aside, I have a question... do you honestly dislike the music the Pogues made, or do you dislike them primarially because everybody
else always says they're so great? You know what I mean, like the idea of them irritates you, or you dislike them out of spite?
OK, I'm gonna go listen to the Dropkick Murphys "Good Rats" with you-know-who on guest vocals, then I gotta get some work done!
