I hated karaoke also, the first time I experienced it back in Detroit for4 or 5 years ago.

And I quite agree with most of your list. I’m too irascible to enjoy popular things.

But I must say, The Sopranos is not crap. Surprised the hell out of me, but it is outstanding art.

Even the series ending that pissed everyone off seemed absolutely perfect to me.

Of course maybe I like the ending precisely because it isn’t popular. ;-)
