Call it Emo or Alternative or whatever. Listen to this record. It's a POP record. To me that's a good thing. Sometimes I want a big slice of cake, topped with a slice of pie and a jelly doughnut. I doubt very much that they went in to the studio trying to out-do OK Computer.

Ah! Exactly. You probably didn't like R Kelly's masterpiece, "Trapped in a Closet (Chapters 1-12)" either.

It could happen! ...OK...you're right...it would never happen. She'd be like...<in a whiney chick singer voice> , "You look like my dad!"

Yeah. It's pretty easy to produce a hit record.
