Ron Suxsmith...

What does one do when a sweet friend of theirs says "hey, you should check out this musician!" and the sed musician makes one want to jam pencils in one's ears every time one of his tracks shuffles into your iTunes. Does one tell the sweet friend that went to all of the trouble of not just sending you 1 track but 3 FULL ALBUMS of this garbage that one hates (yes, I am using the word hate) all 3 of the albums? I should have known when the discussion of sed musician was started with "Have you heard of Ron Sexsmith?" I thought at first it was going to be some off color story about some 70's porn star that would give me a giggle. The conversation continued with "CNN rated this guy one of the most underrated singer songwriters of 2005." Right there! Right there is when I should have nipped it in the bud. I should have stopped the sweet friend dead in his tracks and made some musically elitist comment like "well, if CNN said it...NO THANKS!" But, I didn't and now I have to delete (let me repeat) not 1 track but 3 FULL ALBUMS from my iTunes and try to candy coat my hatred of sed musician's album when the sweet friend asks me what I think. To be honest, I am not sure I can do it. If you want the honest to god truth, I am a bit offended that my sweet friend would subject me to such drivel. Sweet friend, I love you but let us never swap music again.
