Well that's kinda dickish of you isn't it?
I guess it could be taken that way. I, personally, don't take offense when people point out my spelling errors.
And my point wasn't that "I'm right and you're wrong." It was that my statement wasn't ridiculous. My statement was not "Deserving or inspiring ridicule; absurd, preposterous, or silly;" it may or may not be correct, it may only be my opinion, but I think I have some pretty valid points. It is contentable, but not absurd. "Ricky Martin has more talent than half of Tool" - that qualifies as ridiculous.

Yeah, you got valid points, I got valid points, everything's valid. That's why I said agree to disagree. They're both great at what they do, and that's making music. And yes, saying Ricky Martin has more talent than half of tool would be ridiculous. Had to make sure I spelled that right that time. :-]
Why do people keep taking my karma for stating my opinion? I respect your opinions, whether I agree with them or not--you should do the same (Not talking to anyone in particular since I don't know who has been taking Karma from me).
But in the decades to come, Jack White will be much more memorable. You will tell your granchildren "I saw Jack White back in the day," not "I saw Tool way back when."
Jack White is awesome, but I don't put him (or Tool, or the Lips, for that matter, and I just tore through three of my favorite bands) with Beatles/Floyd type greatness that I wish I could tell my grandchildren about. At the end of the day, Jack White is just a good guitarist, an awesome performer, and a creative mind. And he's far from alone in that respect.
Now Ornette Coleman on the other hand, that's something to tell your grandchildren about.
But even then, chances are your grandchildren aren't going to give that much of a damn about a jazz great (unless your kids did a great job raising your grandkids!). They'll probably be much more impressed that you saw Sting with Police.
