I think that most people who write about music just want to fill some paper. They're not really interested in getting to the heart of something. Otherwise, they wouldn't write what they write.
I try and sit on the fence because as soon as you voice any kind of opinion, people begin to think you're an idiot.
For me, it's all about moderation. I don't kick things out of my diet, like carbs. But I'm not going to eat fast food.
