AM had more time to devote to music given all that time away from television. Just curious if anyone would be as critical or curious if he was a country or classic rock fan.

I don't have any hip hop in my music collection, but I have no overall negative reaction to the genre as a whole. As a matter of fact, for years I've considered some rap artists and their clever use of English comparable to Shakespeare. The space rap takes in Melber's broadcasts may be forced at times, but I say let Ari be Ari. His rap references are at least relatable. Live and let live.

I never read Fleming, but to be repetitive, his reflections on narcissists, Shakespearean.
