  •  I just think he's predictable (none / 0)

    He may be predictable in a more sonorous way than some of his contemporaries, but to my ears, he's still predictable. Derivative. Boring. Just like all the other stuff on the dial, only a little more polished. Generally, I'd say the same of most any rap, rock or pop act to get major distribution in the last 10 years.

    That said, I'll quote Atrios, who very kindly pointed a lot of people my way today:

    a very big reason we don't get into soft or hard censorship is because we as a country don't actually all agree on what is good or bad culture. Concern about gyrating semi-naked teenagers or chatter about sex on Friends is motivated by the same thing as concerns about Spongebob's sexual orientation. There's no way to differentiate the two, because there is no standard - "I know it's bad when I see it" is what's in operation.

    "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
