One thing I have learned over the years is that no-one is above criticism - not even those who criticize.
For most of my life mind you, I have been very sensitive to criticism - even friendly criticism - and there was a time when I wanted to be like almost everyone else. Now however, I like being me.
Another thing I have learned about myself is that I don't have much of a skill at looking at things like books, music and TV shows objectively, where everyone at most of my schools, and my two brothers, seemed very good at it. Maybe having poor self esteem was the reason I re-acted the way I did when if I defended a song or a group, Paul or Joel would tell me I was dumb.
Of course, it's not just me. Every so often, I see a letter in a newspaper or something taking an axe to something or other. Then in a future issue, a fan of that something or other will write in to defend it. I myself used to take criticism like that very personally, but am less likely to now that I see that all my 77 contacts at Facebook seem to think like me in that respect and I bet they don't worry about what other people think. So I guess I ought not to either.
Of course, rock and roll music has been a target of some religious people since the fifties. Once I saw a book called "The Rock Report" in a Christian bookshop and I have to say it really upset me, but I think it would be less likely to do so now because now I would just be glad the author is a Christian.
But even so, books like "The Rock Report" are not without flaws. There were only two reviews of it at Amazon the last time I looked and when I read them I became glad I did not stop listening to rock music because they were both one star reviews. You can read them for yourself if you follow this link: http://www.amazon.com/Rock-Report-Uncensored-Todays-Music/dp/0914984136/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268615165&sr=8-1
Mind you, the older of the two reviews has had one sentence removed. It used to end thus: "But if you're looking for a good laugh you may well find it in this volume!" I thought to myself, "I can get a good laugh by reading Garfield!"

Oh, and here's another bad review. What is more, the writer claims to be a Christian: https://unclenecro.wordpress.com/2013/10/27/book-review-the-rock-report-fletcher-a-brothers/
