Fair? You're asking me to be FAIR? Until my hair turned gray it was sorta
blond, so I guess that's as fair as I can get.

1. Michael Bolton. Him, and his music. To hear this pretender to a voice
attempt to sing opera is to know the meaning of root canal without novocaine.
2. Kenny G. Yes, yes, yes, I KNOW the guy is a virtuoso and fine
technician, but I just find soft jazz all but unendurable.
3. Owing to their out-of-studio lives and connections, a number of rappers
are taking care of themselves quite expeditiously. This is the
counter-answer to the question "Why did they hang this picture?" "Because
they couldn't find the artist." I'd hope the "music" follows. (No, I am
not PC, thank God)
