Was taken aback a little, errrrrrr a lot, by a friends posting on Facebook of a John Hiatt video for his song "Have a Little Faith In Me" and then making the comment that "He isn't very popular." And someone else replying, "Who?" I mean, that kind of language just gets me all riled up.
WRONG!!! I wanted to say. He's actually well known among those who know good music. But I figured that would offend plenty of people. Like I'm insinuating that most people don't know really good music .... which I actually do believe is true. But I don't want to start an argument so I refrained and instead said that he's well known among those into Singer/Songwriters and has about a dozen great albums. I figured that was PC enough. And hopefully I provided a little music education.
If John Hiatt is not well known it's because too many people settle for mediocrity in their music choices and don't search for quality. They blindly accept what their television tells them is good.
OK, I'm feeling better now.
