Don, Don, Don...  your killin' me here!  You suggest that the emperor
just *might* be a tad underdressed, and all of Gaffaland labels you a
heretic!  

I have to agree that it's probably a stretch to say the entire group
recognizes TNW as the quintessential Kate composition -- heck, it's real
long; impossible to listen to "casually"; it really *sucks* around the
pool and at the beach; and you just can't dance to it, you know?

Of course, just for grins, we could all listen to it again tonight, then
resurrect the endless "Did She Die?" or "Did She Live?" or "Was it all
just a hallucination?" debate!  (If nothing else, it will add a little
variety to the ubiquitous Tori, "Top 5" and "Bottom 5" posts.)

So thanks for the laugh over the past few days.  Not only did you have
the courage to pee on a "masterpiece", but you backed it up with a pretty
logical (albeit opinionated) argument.  (Oh, and just for the record, I
personally think TNW *brilliant* for what it is...)
