Ha, if we are thinking of the same dark haired gentleman, I recall one incident during perhaps an exhibition hoop game in which this fellow, displeased by the defense of his lads, thwacked his leather soled shoe on the court (bearing his name) and it sounded like a gunshot, accompanied by a most robust four letter word (ending in ck) which absolutely reverberated throughout the otherwise silent venue. It was impressive. (No one told him to tone it down, IIRC).

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Ha I knew I'd ruffle some feathers. It's not that I can't stand them because I do like some of their music. I guess I just like my music a little more on the rock side of things. I definitely do not hate them, it's just that I don't see what all the fuss is about is a better way of putting it.

caviar...I really don't know why (some) people love caviar. Fish eggs...YUCK!
My wife and in-laws all love caviar. My MIL used to buy (when Iranian caviar was available and you didn't have to take out a second mortgage to buy it) a tin of caviar to be served on Thanksgiving day, before the big meal. They ALL went crazy for the caviar and I would eat a very small portion just to be sociable (like a very small spoonful on a small piece of toast with some smoked salmon and lemon). But, IMHO, it has no discernible taste (I'd rather eat Cheetos!) and the thought of eating fish eggs makes me a little nauseous.
Ok, where to start. Unlike the other bands mentioned, the Beatles were innovators, and extremely talented. But to each his own. We cannot all like the same thing. Heck, John and Paul wrote one of the Stones' early hits.
Jewelry and My Pillow ads.
Bruce Springstein.
And, I like most of Pet Sounds. Three hits on that album...
I can see how someone, lots of someones, could "like" the album but the "#2 greatest rock album of all time" according to RollingStone? I guess I've generally leaned toward the harder/more aggressive stuff. It took me until later in life to really appreciate the Beatles.

Eggs. Most everybody on the planet adores them. But not I. Not in any form. Shudder.
I'm prepared to read someone wax poetic about a fluffy omelet or easy over on toast. Years of practice.
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
Granted. Nothing better than a fluffy, pillowy omelet.
There is a little dive in Norfolk, virginia called Charlie's that has the best omelets in the world. They frappe the eggs in a milkshake machine and finish them in the oven. Completely heavenly.
Bob Green, if you are reading this, and you haven't tried the omelets at Charlie's, put it on your list.
Practice be damned. Is this when weezie points out an alternative use for your omelets?
I've got another one... Jerry Seinfeld. The man is marginally funny at best. The show was good but Jerry himself as a comedian, eh.

I agree with the part about the crap out today. But as far as nobody liking it, that's not true.

I'm super weird on this one. I love eggs. Scrambled, sunny side up, over easy, you name it. And eggs over medium mixed in my grandma's homemade grits is probably my favorite meal of all time.
But I absolutely hate omelets and I cant understand why. I want to love them. I've tried them every way known to man, and I just don't like them. And more often than not, they give me a stomach ache. Maybe its mental
I’ll one up everyone here, just music in general. The first piece of music I’ve bought for myself... hasn’t happened yet and I’m nearly 50. I’ll listen politely, but the thought of even spending $10 to go to a concert makes me gag, let alone whatever it costs these days(the last non school concert I went to was an orchestra playing the music to various Looney Tunes cartoons with the music taken out of them in the 1990s)
I’ll leave my radio on AM and be happy to yell at you kids to get off my lawn.
