He's credited as executive producer, and according to Drew Carey (he said don't sleep with them for a part on a TV show, they don't have that power), that essentially is an honorific given to the more valuable writers. I think he does a lot more than just read the prompts.

Why? the damage that can be done to me by a compromised gmail account is worst.

From my bank you can read my financial records, and mail checks. I can notice this before the check ever arrives.

From my gmail, you can reset most of my passwords to everything, and impersonate me, doing much personal if not economic damage, maybe even some light blackmail.

I'd like to see paypal be more secure, as they can actually spend my money, though I get an instant notification, and am sure could call and reverse it before damage is done (I actually think adding someone to send checks to does the same at my bank).

There's very little real damage to be done from my online banking. My credit card doesn't have a password, I hand to a half dozen people a day, and even that has cost me only 2 hours of a pain in the ass over 15 years.

I was actually trying to reply to the same "Gr8Apes' comment you were, sorry. I guess that's what I get for trying to internet on a phone with a half broken screen.

I'm with you that mass appeal pop is pretty much garbage (it's hard to appeal to everyone and still be good, it can be done, but it's certainly not the majority).

The idea that there's only a couple good songs a year is what I found surprising, music exploration and discovery is made so much easier now, obviously if Bach is your thing, that's a lot less relevant though. I wouldn't dare to compare Bach to modern music, not because I think one is so much better or worse, but because they're not comparable.

Anyway, sorry if I offended.

PS, Is there a definitive JS Bach discography? as in the one that should be the one listened too?

I can't tell if you're serious or not, but if you like and explore various types of music, there is plenty.

Doomtree et Al, sunflower bean, hail Mary mallon are all things I've started listening to quite regularly fairly recently. The amount of music created is immense, and a lot of it really good.

The reason not to torrent music is that a Spotify or google play music subscription will introduce you to new music, and provide a way to listen to it for free (after subscription).

There's nothing wrong with music not really being your thing, but the attitude that it's all bad and the same is wrong, we are at a golden age of music discoverability.
