They say that "One man's meat is another man's poison." That certainly is true in popular music. If you want to torment me all you have to do is play a song called "This Girl is On Fire." sung by Alicia Keys. I marvel that she is any kind of pop star at all since I find her voice strident, abrasive, and without any redeeming talent. The song itself, like so many of today's songs, is a series of meaningless repetitions,stridently recorded in a way to remove any kind of human quality. Now I appreciate that this is possibly the only song of hers that I would find so ear-annoying offensive, but I doubt it. Yet I suppose there are millions of people out there that will sing along with this waterboard of a song and call it music. Like I said, "One man's meat...".
