    The thing I wanna know is: Why the fuck should I care? I realise that taste is subjective, but, in this case I will make an exception. Dance music blows. If you can call it music. Give me Zappa, Yes, Beethoven, Mozart, or Bowie. And by the way, before you respond, you are right! I can't dance. Never could, and never will. Dance music will fade out, make no mistake. Disco faded, thankfully, and so too will modern dance "culture" when enough white hip hop morons realise that they will NEVER be accepted by the black people they so readily idolise. Frank Zappa was an artist, djs are merely parasites.
