What, praytell, are those profoundly disturbing matters exactly ?  That The
Spice Girls could merit a # 1 song ?  Call me unconventional, but I can
appreciate a good "act", as there is still creativity behind the scenes.
 Sure, they are a totally contrived band, hand picked for obvious reasons,
but that never stopped me from liking the Sex Pistols or Bow Wow Wow or The
Monkees.  I don't limit my appreciation for artists, as I believe Malcom
McClaren is a genius for inventing and nurturing the bands he did.  I have
respect for many successful artists, just for having what it takes to give
the people what they want.  I don't think The Spice Girls are revolutionary
or the greatest group of all time, believe me ---  but they put out cutesy
bubble gum music that has significant appeal to those not too proud and
shoulder deep in music snobbery to enjoy it for what it is.
