I've had ...I think you're right about that. I've had it happen with music, too. Andy knows a lot about music and songwriting and because of that, he listens with a totally different ear than I do. I'm happy if it makes me tap my toes or possibly cry a little. He requires a certain amount of craft and thought.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-71166902688636050492012-09-25T11:48:13.976-04:002012-09-25T11:48:13.976-04:00I read this from Molly's comment, "I can ...I read this from Molly's comment, "I can get on a pretty high horse about what I think is good or not - but then I get so pissed when someone is on a higher horse denigrating the things I love," and shook my head. <br /><br />That's me too. Perhaps one of the million reasons why Molly and I are friends. a) we do this, b) we realize that we do this. :)<br /><br />Don't apologize for the Bud Light, Eileen! You love it. Millions of people love it. <br /><br />For me, I have to go with reality TV too. Ten years ago I would have also listed a certain kind of movie that I always watched even though the critics hated them... But since I've become a writer, I think my tolerance for lousy writing has gone down. <br /><br />I think that's maybe what it's about. The more you know about the details, the craft, the harder it is to accept things on the low end. In beer or books.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-74304647405262216232012-09-25T10:28:45.430-04:002012-09-25T10:28:45.430-04:00I have to admit, it also makes me wonder if I real...I have to admit, it also makes me wonder if I really know what's good and what's not.

The Bacehlor... worse the Bachelor Pad.<br /><br />Now granted part of the fun of watching those shoes is the mocking, but I'm still probably missing something intellectually challenging on the History Channel.<br /><br />Right now I'm obsessed with the Adventures of Lois and Clark re-runs that are playing. Episodes which include a madman building an Ark and trying to flood the world.<br /><br />Seriously... <br /><br />So yes - I succumb to bad stuff all the time. However, not with books. I've never read a book I thought was *bad* and really enjoyed it at the same time.<br /><br />Maybe the closest I came would be the Da Vinci Code. Despite the total lack of character - I was impressed enough with some of the elements that I found it entertaining. <br /><br />Stephanie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448686465587131952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-10176404758019090532012-09-25T10:25:42.157-04:002012-09-25T10:25:42.157-04:00The Voice - I just can't quit it...

I can get on a pretty high horse about what I think is good or not - but then I get so pissed when someone is on a higher horse denigrating the things I love.<br /><br />The only question that matters is - do you love it? I celebrate your Bud Light!!Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.com
