Re: dig that crazy crate

Well, I basically disagreed with Mark's connecting "pop" and "laziness." This has nothing to do with reality. It'd be like claiming that there was an inherent connection between skateboards and laziness, or crossword puzzles and laziness, or dances and laziness. The opposite of "lazy" isn't "work" but "active.

"Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet's filled with pictures
She gets 'em one by one
She gets so excited
Watch her look at her run"

But also disagree with the notion (not that anyone has explicitly stated it here, but someone might) that being pop precludes making intellectual and moral demands on the hearer, that pop doesn't ask something of you.
