As for your thread, I kind of disagree. Why should each member of the band be really talented? There are bands where all members are average and they still make good songs... And they use words like love and stuff ;) I find Love hurts by Nazareth to be a great song. And it is nothing speciall. But I like it a lot. But than again, that is just my point of view. Beauty is in the eye (ear) of the beholder. Maybe you are right, and I am wrong.

Jeez.. I thought that joke was so obvious. Popeye is a cartoon character who's famous line was "I am what I am".
So anytime somebody says "I am what I am" around you, you look at them really weird and reply "You're Popeye??".
I thought that's what you meant by adding to the end of your sentence.
Just an old joke.

Anyhoo.... the only reason I'm against using the words 'love' or 'baby' in top 40 songs is because it's been overdone so much that it's a become a joke.
I'm not a big fan of a.m. radio type music and it just seems sometimes like every song on those 'clearchannel' stations is either about love or has the word baby in it.
And a baby to me is one of those little loud crying things that cost you a coupla hundred thousand dollars over 20 years.... so everytime I hear a guy singing stuff like 'ooh baby I love you', I think of a grown man saying stuff like that to a little kid.
