It's not Elson's pride that's missing. He gave a valid example of the
extreme shallowness of the "average" US citizen's taste, if you can call
it that, in music. Just take a cross-section of the playlists from ramdom
radio stations across this vast "waistland" to prove this. I mean,
country/western probably has some redeeming qualities, after a
sufficient number of brewskis maybe, and a lot of that lite rock
schitt used to sound pretty good, back in days of yore, but... Knowing
nothing about the Spice Girls, I would venture that he (Elson) was being
generous in his offering. At least they've got a kicky little name...
