Feel The Beat

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I've complained about how every "R&B" song has the same beat and is therefore boring. I've reconsidered. And I've amended my opinion to include the idea that this is perhaps a conscious strategy, to mine every last dollar out of a particular microstyle of music and then move on once it runs dry. Kind of like the aliens in Independence Day without the cool space ships and death ray.

I got 3 Mitch Hedberg CDs for my birthday and if you've never heard him, I highly recommend him, though he's definitely not to everyone's taste. My favorite so far: "A friend of mine showed me a picture and said, 'This is a picture of me when I was younger.' Every picture is of you when you were younger. If you show me a picture of you when you're older, I'll say, let me see that @#$%^&*! camera."
