General Discussion

If you can show me where I said that either of them were grifting hatemongers, I'll retract it.

A lot of life comes down to a matter of personal taste.

I respect everyone's personal tastes. Mine is that I never thought Britney Spears was outstanding on any level.

And I respect people who do feel that way. She was an MTV pop diva, in my opinion, and she never moved the dial past that.

And that's a major accomplishment, sure. In MTV's heyday, I had that channel on all day and night, whenever I didn't want to watch something else.

She sold a lot of records and a lot of concert tickets and good for her. No harm no foul on any of that.

But none of that adds up to artistic merit. Commerce isn't art. You can say she has it, I can say she doesn't, potato, potato, tomato, tomato.

Let's just say that Kirk and Jackson weren't of the same caliber as human beings, and we don't even have to consider my other comments to arrive at that conclusion.
