My deep love and appreciation for music can no way be measured by any standard.

Despite all the criticism, I absolutely loved them. I defended them. But I was young and well, not very smart. I mean, if you asked me about them today, I'd be like, "What the fuck was I thinking." But you still hear some of their songs on the radio every now and then, and you can't help but smile– before changing the station.
