10) Okay, now you've gone too far. Plus, you're lying when you say all of their songs are bad. It's a fact that everyone loves Air Supply and knows every single one of their songs, but not many have the balls to admit it. Apparently, I have big enough balls for all of us because I LOVE THEM.
oh beck, you poor misguided child...i knew that you would get the "George Benson" question correct and KUDOS for your performances as of late.
but seriously, you like Air Supply? "i'm all out of love for you", girl (well, not really)...i mean, they DRONE on and their songs NEVER end. in the late 60s and early 70s, we had artists like them - Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Don McLean, etc.
tell me...how can someone of your considerable talent and taste have such a lapse? i guess it happens to everyone occasionally (he said as he wondered off humming MMMM-Bop)
best to you,

They can make all the stadiums rock. 'Nuff said.
