I HAVE heard James Taylor. I know that millions of folks (I guess) enjoy his music and buy it.
I don't. It's not that I HATE it, or that it makes me run into the hills. I simply don't enjoy his "style".
But I get to choose. It's NOT my loss for that reason.
I think we have had this kind of "go around" before. It's a matter of not understanding one another, and it turns too often into a pissing match that should not have to happen.
I'm happy for you that you enjoy James Taylor. And Bluegrass. I don't. Telling me I should is a bit insulting: Suggesting the I maybe have no taste for good music.
(Remember your comment about "Adagio For Strings" that I posted? Now I TREASURE that music. It didn't "speak to you". I don't think it's your loss. We just have different tastes)
We all get to choose. I have. You don't get to do that for me.
Jesus Christ Wonky you are making a bunch of shit out of nothing AGAIN.
Yes when a person doesn't like apple pie or puppy's or beautiful women or whateverand t the vast majority of others DO like these things.
Then I'm allowed to say they are losing out.
I'm happy for you that you enjoy James Taylor. And Bluegrass. I don't. Telling me I should is a bit insulting:
I did not say "you should like" anything. You just think that's what I said.
We all get to choose. I have. You don't get to do that for me
I didn't.
In post 2474 your said:
"Yes your loss indeed. I can't imagine anyone not liking James Taylor's smooth as silk voice that's also pitch perfect."
YOU can't imagine it.
Try.
Wonky saying it's your loss is Not at all the same as me saying you SHOULD like JT.
So F***ing what if I can't imagine people not liking his voice. How in the hell is that offensive to you?
Maybe it's only perception, I don't know. I do know it's not a ground breaking issue. And still...
See TV, you take from me MY view, my opinion, my feelings, and even judgment of what I like and value.
How can it be my loss if I don't FEEL the loss of it? Yet, you INSIST it's my loss. Are we just talking semantics here? I made a simple and clear statement and while you get to feel differently about this thing, you don't get to tell me how I feel about it.
I don't really feel offended. I just again feel frustrated, irritated, and exhausted. I don't want to have to quarrel about every expression I use or the opinions I express that for the most part don't matter very much.
At the start of this, I only wanted to say you can't tell me how I feel. I don't feel "the loss" of not enjoying James Taylor's talent.
Seems so simple to me.
But, we are forever caught in this web.
I think I'll download some James Taylor tunes and LEARN to like them.
Anything to settle this.
PS: I quit the damn book I was reading. Historical fiction, it was more tedious than this.
you don't get to tell me how I feel about it.
And I haven't. Why do you make a big fucking deal out of everything so often anymore?
