I, for one, have seen the error of my ways. Teenaged girls are smart and Justin Bieber is every bit as good as James Brown or Tommy Dorsey or Glenn Miller.

You know, I just knew there was something wrong with the way I was looking at the world. I wanted substance but now realize I'm just a stupid old fogey who doesn't know very much and, like all such people, I was griping for sake of having something to gripe about. Everything's fine.

So now you'll excuse me while I acknowledge Katy Perry's talent even though I don't listen to anything she's done and then I'll go wallow in my bathtub full of sheet music from 1900. Life is good.

Thanks Mudcatters. I owe you one.
