With Reference to My Last Mixed Tape

JANUARY 17, 2004 BY SUSAN J

“… If your cassette collection had too many other nonmetal artists, you were bordering on one of those goddamn eclectics who really didn’t love anything. One of my primary theories as a junior high kid was that people who claimed to like every genre of music were liars and hypocrites; they lacked backbone. I never trusted open-minded people.”
