Reply #125: "the goatee is the new mullet" [View All]

[Bridget Burke]

It's a style difference. People have different tastes & different interests. Apparently, some people have a serious interest deficiency, so they spend their leisure time criticizing the interests of others. "Look at those fools who think they're having fun; we're having no fun, so we must be superior."

Is it so hard to turn off NASCAR & select another channel? Or take a walk? Or attend a Bergman film festival? Or go shopping for clove cigarettes?

The quotation I used is from John Nova Lomax's screed against ClearChannel radio in The Houston Press; he's describing the demographics of two local ClearChannel stations: "Broadly speaking, the Buzz is for tools with goatees and the women who love them; KLOL is for tools with mullets and the strippers who fleece them. (And the goatee is the new mullet, for what that's worth.)"
