Thread Name: Who is Billy Bragg?(and LYR ADD)
Subject: RE: Who is Billy Bragg?
When someone is determined to be close minded, don't get mad at them, pity them for they have chosen to limit themselves and deny themselves the opportunity to experience the amazing variety that is the world.
Yes, there are forms of music that I enjoy more than others and there are individual performances that could be a lot better. Yet if I reject almost everything without even giving it a fair hearing, I make myself the poorer. The phrase "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" comes to mind.
This bit about not wasting time, unless suffering from a terminal disease (other than life itself), that is just so much nonsense, and an excuse. I just hope that you do not apply this type of bigotted thinking to other areas of your life. And yes I did use the word bigotted, rejecting something as valueless without further thought or examination simply because of it's classification is a form of bigotry.
