199.Crap

I ramble about what makes something “good” and what makes it crap.  AND what makes some crap good.  It’s yet another meandering poderance that serves to set the stage for future discussion hopefully.

Reminds me U2 is mostly crappy music but I don't really hate it.

music:

Astrobotnia – Lightworks
