The implication is that the quality of the song in and of itself is responsible for the popularity, money etc..
I would disagree. Its an interesting question however.

I would guess that millions of people could write a song of similar quality and style if they were inclined to do so. Perhaps this bands young, quirky, douchey styling and look is appealing to some aspect of the young culture. Perhaps the band has contacts etc in the industry. Perhaps they caught some break.Who knows the particulars of how all that stuff works. (this applies to any art(?) business imo).

But the point is that if some talented musicians were willing to write a song of similar quality and style (without shooting themselves) there is no expectancy that it would also become a hit. There are many other factors involved.

Pop music is marketed to the under 25 crowd. It is also a very copy-cat industry, the shelf life of a trend or style is only 12-18 months for the most part. Its probably harder getting a 2nd song/album to make it.
 
Well I hope for your sake they didn't see you...I imagine that would be slightly embarrassing. That sucks that the woman is mad again, you were finally getting laid again!

Did anyone give you specifics on the threats you made?
You sound like Bacon. You two should drink together, it could be either really funny. or really messy.

Yeah I don't think once I said it was easy. If you'd like you can peruse my posts, but I believe you'll be unlikely to find it. I just said the band is trash IMO Wally. I mean, if that offends you, I guess I am fine with that since I rarely worry who is offended about things I say, online or in my personal life. At work I suppose it's forced upon me. But I generally choose to be associated with people who aren't easily offended, and find them to be far more genuine.
 
I'm a scammer by the way. There is a scammer on the board. Me.

As I believe I mentioned somewhere, the Tim Hortons closest to work is under renovations so last time I went there they gave me a card - to compensate for the inconvenience - where my 1st and 7th coffees would be free. They are serving from a trailer which works just fine for me but whatever.

So I got a coffee and it was free. Got my card stamped with the promise of another free coffee 6 trips down the line. Dandy.

I went back there yesterday. As I was driving in, someone flagged me down to tell me exactly what they told me the first time - renovations, trailer, yada, yada.

Sez, "Here is a card and your first and seventh coffees are free - if you don't have one already."

He paused to give me the opportunity to say I had already had one.

"Oh! Thanks!" I sez and took the card.

Went and got my free coffee. Scammer.
 
Dating naked. That will make me highly uncomfortable. Especially if I don't like my date. How do you excuse myself? "I'm sorry but that sushi sashimi we just had is about to give me explosive diarrhea and I didn't bring any undies for our date."
 
Meanwhile, this past week there was a story - a bit of a hullaballoo - over a tweet regarding the Malaysia Airlines tragedy made by actor Jason Biggs.

Which brings up the question for me: holy crap how many dopey celebs do you have to be following where Jason Biggs is on your roster?
