I have many things that others may consider "guilty pleasures", such as musically I love Van Morrison - I think the guy is a genius - but I don't think of it as something to be ashamed about because I'm open about it - even though it's not at all like the music I listen to most of the time (or around friends, for that matter), though when questioned I'll answer truthfully. I may not go around spreading the word of certain things but like I say when asked I'll always answer as that's what makes me me. I've always held the opinion that there's no reason to hide a secret as such because if someone else doesn't share the same view then they can either continue being a friend or if not then it's not my loss - life's too short to be ashamed of who you are.
Argh... My girlfriend's mum loves Van Morrison. She worships his music.
It's just... all the same. It's ringy guitar chords with a low voice repeating the same words over and over. His habit of off-timingly repeating his last line 5 times on the same sequence of chords really grates me.
It just seems awful music to me...
*pant* *pant* Ah, good. Got that off my chest.
