And some people wonder why they're considered music snobs.

If you don't like rock & roll, why pan it? Just ignore it. It's ignoring
you ... personally, I'd rather make nough money playing covers to live
and then play my favorite music for essentially nothing. I didn't
especially care for C & W, but it payed the bills. I wasn't about to
bite the hand that fed me.

Come to think of, that's whay I _did_ do for a few years. Until I
changed careers.
