Only in college VI

Over 20 years ago, someone from my dorm floor walked by my room, heard the music I was playing, and said, "That sounds good."  That was all the encouragement I needed to launch into a five-minute filibuster about the song, the band, and other bands that sounded similar.  The visitor listened patiently and responded, "That's nice.  I  like Madonna."  At first, I thought, "Why do I bother?"  Shortly after that, however, I thought, "Even when someone likes the music I'm playing, five minutes of music trivia is a lot to heap on someone."  The same could be said of certain posts I write here; presumably, though, you're reading those of your own free will, at your leisure.
