[bomp] NO COMMENT: A workplace conversation about the Ramones!

[PsychoPunk1966@xxxxxxx]

Greetings & Salutations!
 
A few nights ago, there was a workplace conversation about music.   Some 
people find me curious anyway, and they decided to ask what I like to  listen to.  
Well, I could mention every "obscure band" that I listen to,  but I decided 
to mention the most mainstream of what I listen to in order to  give them some 
idea.  I mentioned 1950s and 1960s rock n roll; I also said  from the 1970s 
and 80s that I like the Ramones.  One of my co-workers  replied, "they suck!"  
He also went on to say that "they were ugly."  
 
Here's my NO COMMENT commentary.
 
What silly shit someone would spew out of their mouths, even if it was  
(wrongfully) opinionated based.  Should it matter if the Ramones were (as  my 
co-worker put it the other day), "ugly?"  I simply do not listen to a  band based 
on how someone dressed or looked.  Granted, the Ramones' look  was actually a 
cool look.  Who knows?  I could be right.  Anyway,  I went off politely on my 
co-worker about how it didn't matter how people  looked.  If that was the case, 
I would be a big fan of Mandy Moore or Avril  Lavinge today.  They can't 
sing, but those ladies are nice to look  at.
 
Cheers,
