Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
That was an interesting article.
NYT says that George Jones has died.
Musica question: Who is a musician comparable to Uwe Boll - that is widely and justly despised, but still with a commercial niche that prevents him or her from ever going away? Both the *widely* and *justly* despised are important. Can't be someone who is popular with anyone but a narrow demographic, can't be someone good but underappreciated, yet must be someone who survives in a niche market.

Kenny G?
Nickelback?
Yanni?
Thanks. i'm using this as an analogy to communicate to soe environmentalists. Which of the following is the LEAST likely pushback to hear from a crunchy middle class group, varying in age, some with hipster tendencies:
"Kenny G. is awesome."
"Nickleback is awesome."
"Yanni is awesome."
"Andre Rieu is awesome"?
If I had to rank them in reverse order of pushback likelihood?
1) Yanni
2) Kenny G.
3) Nickleback
