I hope that my blog can highlight not just mine, but often the opinions of others as well, and I hope that it can also spark debates and previously quieted opinions - which our discussion at least does!! If you don't see the purpose of blogs that just complain, what would you prefer me to write about? I am always open to and asking for requests, and I would greatly value your suggestions.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451108204214695930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098844529505174564.post-62461157022603922592011-05-18T13:03:08.591-07:002011-05-18T13:03:08.591-07:00If we dont have our opinions, we have NOTHING. :) ...If we dont have our opinions, we have NOTHING. :) Keep preaching fred!Oli Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098844529505174564.post-44342445475938352862011-05-18T12:57:21.253-07:002011-05-18T12:57:21.253-07:00I just think that your 'opinionated personalit...I just think that your 'opinionated personality' is suffocatingly smug, and in Justin Bieber's case youtube was simply a catalyst to his fame. <br />I was also wondering what the purpose of your blog is? Just because many of your entries are not making a point or argument, but ranting about the decline of cultural values etc. I understand you're proud to be opinionated, but I don't see the purpose of blogs that just complain. I'm sorry if I seem harsh, just some of your views I really disagree strongly with!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098844529505174564.post-15813162243681742672011-05-18T10:37:36.154-07:002011-05-18T10:37:36.154-07:00Thanks for your comment - and your right, this is ...Thanks for your comment - and your right, this is about who I don't like. I'm a highly opinionated person, and without my opinions I'm not the individual I'm proud to be. Personally, I think that modern music all over the world has gone to the dogs, and for me, although he may not be the worst offender, Justin Bieber is certainly the most publicised and therefore the obvious choice for someone to comment on. And as for him being talented, well ok maybe he is, but realistically now a days anyone can be with a computer around. I'm sorry you don't agree with what I'm saying, but if I were "holding out for universal popularity", well I would be waiting a very long time.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451108204214695930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098844529505174564.post-91253103497941187652011-05-17T13:47:58.038-07:002011-05-17T13:47:58.038-07:00you call Justin Bieber a 'pathetic example of ...you call Justin Bieber a 'pathetic example of a musician' - sorry but I think you're being exceptionally small minded. Justin Bieber writes much of his own material and has a good voice - he is talented. I'm not simply sticking up for Bieber here, I think this blog entry is not showing your appreciation of good music, but slagging off any artist who's music you do not like. Widen your cultural horizons, Fred, and get off the moral high ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098844529505174564.post-5341755967225430022011-05-10T10:00:44.651-07:002011-05-10T10:00:44.651-07:00You are so right.
