You know, I've got to agree. Someone was playing their record in the
dressing room, and even I, the most rhythmless of them all was compelled to
break it down. Listen: what's the big fucking deal? I dig N'Sync when
they're playing in my friends' cars, and we're all laughing and singing
along. It'd be nice if they listened to as much egghead shit as I do, but
they don't, and who am I to judge them. Bubblegum pop is fun in context, and
that's really all I've got to say.

Cheers,
