Recent things that have annoyed me.

"Money Can't Buy Me Love" being used in a Macy's TV commercial. It's bad enough MIchael Jackson bought the catologue of Beatles music out from under Paul but to continually sell of the rights to these songs is pouring salt in the wound.

"American Pie" being used in a Chevrolet TV commercial. OK, I understand that Don McLean hasn't really had a career in years but why couldn't they have gone after Sammy Johns instead?

Up here, Simon Malls(they own a bunch of New England Malls) is using "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Stones for Xmas present ads.

It's just commercialism these days, that's what's going on.

Recent things annoy me too.

Like, I can't just put my comments on your page.

What fun is that?

Why should I bother reading then...
except that it's fun to look into your life...

Why are you afraid of a few idiots anyway? Most of your friends know you and what you are about.
