Talk about easily offended. I am a college student myself so I'll
generalize all I want. Now sure some college students here are into
metal or hardcore rap or whatever but most of them are into whiny
politcally correct music like David Byrne or Morrissey which has
absolutely nothing going for it other than it's socially aware or they
are into computer generated dance music which is not even music really
since practically no one plays instruments or writes anything.

A friend of mine is a big Living Colour fan so I have heard Vivid and
Time's Up over and over. I also saw them at Lollapalooza I. Yawn, color
me unimpressed. Vernon Reid goes around continuously whining about
racism in the music industry. Give fans some credit here! Many metal
fans listen to Jimi Hendrix because he's good but they realize Living
Colour sucks so that is not played on the radio. If it was good it would
be. Corey Glover has this stupid soulless voice and their lyrics are
incredibly pretentious and never go beyond the obvious. Read the review
of them in SPIN last September. They are slammed and slammed hard so
it's not like I am the only one that feels this way.

You consider that sig offensive? My 54 year old mother listens to Last
Caress (the Metallica cover version) without batting an eyebrow.  Better
not listen to any early Metallica or any Slayer, early Megadeth, any
hardcore or punk or hardcore rap etc. etc. then. (Though I must admit
you are not the only one to find it offensive. My stupid biology lab
head suspended me here from the lab since he found my sig so offensive
when I sent him email. )
