AAA issues advisory against N.E.W.S. !!

apparently, some people were playing N.E.W.S. while driving,inducing a deep immediate sleep, causing accidents around the globe. AAA now advises to not play this CD while driving.

And it's not just driving, there have been several reported cases of people slipping into a coma whilst listening to it in their own homes.

I hate this argument. So if you've never recorded an album you can't say that Ashlee Simpson is crap? If you've never made a movie you can't say that 'Soul Plane' was unwatchable? I'm not saying N.E.W.S. is as bad as all that, but you don't have to be an expert at the craft to know that you don't enjoy something. If you've never started a smart-ass thread you shouldn't be allowed to comment on one???

Im not adverse to criticism of art of any kind. I just find slagging off of other peoples work pointless. Don't like it? don't listen to it. I'd rather read of how an album changed your life rather than the usual 'this is shit' ZZzzz. But, hey, thats just me. Similarly, my comment seems to have gotten your back up a little bit, is that because somebody holds a differenig opinion than yours? I appreciate that the post was done in humour, so was my comment. I guess we have different types of humour. Thats cool, it brings me full circle.

EXACTLY! If you have never recorded music or made a movie, you just don't have the experience of what it feels like to be in the chair, so how can you honestly say anything if you haven't walked in his shoes? You can give an opinion, but what is an opinion? Someone's trite egotistical posturing! Nothing less.

On another note, criticism, unlike constructive feekback, is completely EGO DRIVEN! You're trying to put a comparison spin on things, and to be ABSOLUTELY BLUNT, that's how Hitler came to power. He convinced people that his idealogy and he were superior. Keep your EGO out of my perspective, PLEASE!

falloff Tell me about it. I almost killed myself in a similar way by listening to NEWS for the first time while in the tub. Last time I make that mistake.

It's all good. I'm with you on people just saying "this sucks and it's my opinion and that's it" (and there are plenty of those around here). What's the point? But as you say this thread was obviously done as a joke. No point in making any kind of stink over it. If you intended for your comment to be funny then it's cool. But people also often say around here "You're not as talented as Prince so you have no right to criticize anything he's ever done." That mentality gets old too. I thought you were going there. Unfortunately you can't read tone on a message board.

And for the record, I have no problem with anybody having a differing opinion from me. Don't get crazy now!

your comment wasn't one of a different opinion, it was exactly what you were called on.

but speaking of differing opinions. if you actually practiced what you preached you woudn't be insulting someone for starting the type of thread you don't enjoy and would have just mosied on over to a thread about how NEWS changed someone life, and ignored this one, since it isn't your cup of tea.

way to not only not understand what you yourself posted but then contradict your actions in attempting to justify them. kudos!
