Most people, if they don't like something, they don't like it. That's that. And if you try to convince them of why you enjoy it, they'll tune you out and/or argue with you. I must admit that I'm somewhere in the middle, but lean more toward the latter side of things. And I'm not a huge fan of techno. :o) But people like you are really inspiring, because you teach us that not liking something sometimes means not understanding it. If you experience it, give it a try, learn more about it, and still don't like it, that's your right. But now you have reasons and can say with authority that it's not your cup of tea.

In Santa Monica, though, there's a pedestrian only street where I go sometimes on the weekends because all kinds of street musicians and artists show up - you never know what you'll get -- and a lot of them are really excellent!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978433496142392475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-38221973987062979932008-09-21T22:08:00.000+02:002008-09-21T22:08:00.000+02:00I went to this Parade once in Paris.
