I was at a party last week and something happened that I can't quite shake. We were having a normal cocktail party conversation about Beatles Rockband, when the person I was talking to announced that she hated the Beatles.Now, I've run into this before. It's not like everyone has to love the Beatles. There are people that prefer classical music, for instance, which is perfectly acceptable. Or there are people that prefer heavy metal or rap, which is understandable. I wouldn't even be bothered if the person preferred the Rolling Stones (or some other legendary rival)...it happens. I know a lot of people that feel that way.
But you'll never believe what band she preferred. I'm not making this up: The Monkees. That's right. Hates the Beatles, loves the Monkees.
That's like hating natural fabric and loving polyester.
My jaw dropped that day, and it remains in the dropped position.
