I feel like that about "Breakaway"

Then I had to stop myself...realizing the irony...

since I've been thinking a lot about people's reputations lately.

1. No. I think a good song is a good song no matter who made it
I even like a few Ted Nugent songs.

2. You are right....
absolutely. It should not change my opinion of a song!

3. Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
I had been listening to "Breakaway" on the radio for weeks without knowing who sang it. (You'd think I would have heard the DJ announce the singer, but whatever...I missed it...)

Then I found out. I am staunchly anti-American Idol and all the plastic, disposable pop singers they produce, with their plastic disposable music. But I didn't stop liking the song. I've got it on my iPod.

It is well-written, well-performed, has a catchy hook, and is very well arranged. Very atypical of American Idol music.

So I still like the song.

The true answer to your question in my case would be "Little Miss Dangerous". I thought that song was cool as hell until I found out Ted Nugent sang it.

And no, I do not have that one on my iPod. I'm not enriching the Nuge by so much as $0.99...

6. This has nothing to do with this thread,
but I owe you an apology. I tried to PM you and couldn't. My post the other day was not meant as an insult to you at all. I agree with the the other poster about the "games" women play, but that certainly didn't mean that I thought you were doing it. I don't want to discuss it any further, and certainly won't stalk you. I just really wanted you to know I didn't mean to insult you and am sorry if I did. You are one of the few people I look for in her, and don't want any hard feelings.
