Sadly, I have to agree. Even if I thought he (Kanye) had talent (which I don't), he's just too obnoxious as a person for me to warm up to (even if I liked that type of music - which I don't). In any case, thanks Nigel for understanding that I truly WAS just kidding around. It wouldn't make much sense for one of the oldest guys here (me) to be poking fun at other "ol' farts" UNLESS I was kidding. People often poke fun at themselves (or their peers). Obviously no malicious intent, but I guess if you're looking for something, you're going to find it.
