Does anyone have a more shameful confession?

well yes, and at least you accept this is a dialectic -- or something -- rather than going my crate is more pop than your crate. But I think Frank doesn't really get what we mean when we talk about pop in this way -- not a bad thing, necessarily. I'd be interested if we could work out why, but I fear it would lead to some ferocious disagreement.

I once dug around in an MVE crate and found Man Not A Boy by North & South. I was so happy!

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.
