  You hit the nail right on the head. Once someone becomes popular, 
everyone is so quick to abandon them! I've heard it right here in the 
REM argument. I've seen it happen to some Radiohead fans. Most Nirvana 
fans did that,as well as Green Day fans. Once these bands became media 
successes,the fans couldn't handle not having a "secret club" anymore.


is a pretty clever and well performed bit that essentially describes her 
last two years out of the light.  The single's well produced [maybe 
that's what turns some of you off (?!)] and is "real".  Though I realise 
that people can have diverging musical interests from mine, it 
simultaneously baffles me as well.  

  What oh what oh WHAT IS IT about produced music that turns all you 
intellgent people off???? PLEASE tell me!!! I can understand a distaste 
for overly slick sterile R&B production,but it seems like anything that 
isn't stripped down,raw or extremely thoughtful is not good enough. This 
is why I'm scared of my own career. I know that if I released an album 
in the style of my current producer,all of y'all would probably laugh at 
me!!! I thought about Alanis after I made that post,and although I still 
shake my head at "Ironic",I'm a fan dag nabbit!!! She's cool. 

OK I needed to use my credit card there,that was way more than 2 cents. 
None of that was directed at anyone specific,either,and I'm still in a 
great mood. :)
