I think you explained, not justified that appreciation. And I'm here wondering
if that wouldn't apply to the Backstreet Boys ( and all the boys bands, which
the Beatles were the beta-version for ), Madonna, Michael Jackson, Eminem,
Celine Dion, etc. Or Star Trek and Buffy ( which I enjoy very much ), when
compared to Woody Allen, Days of our Lives to Discovery Channel, etc.
Best wishes,
Caio
