IF THAT MANY LIKE IT, IT CAN'T BE THAT GOOD

Junk sells. Books, music, movies, gear it to the lowest common denominator and get ready to rake in the dough, the moolah, the green, the money.

Examples: Kenny Rogers, Adam Sandler, the list is long. Pick the most popular and you will nail the majority.

When I tell people this, they think I am odd. Heck, it's not even original with me. Most people have no discerning ability, they're sheep. Not only do they not know what is junk, they also do not know there are people, such as myself, who look at such things from a larger perspective, not from personal opinion, which is often a mighty limited scope.

The trap I fall into is when I broach this exact subject matter with an individual. I set myself up and fall for it every time.

After I recite an intelligent reason for something or someone being junk, it is always the same response:

"I'd like to have all the money (it, she, he) made on it."

Right. Not only do they still do not get it, they have defended their posture with an equal vulgarity.
