1. Garth Brooks - Red Strokes

Six white baby grand pianos were destroyed in the making of the video for this song.

I hope the weight of six negative baby grand pianos is heavy on the shoulders of whoever thought this was a good idea. There are six schools right now where the children will never see a real piano in their lifetime, which is a travesty that makes me sadder than I can bear. Maybe Garth should have made a video with a bonfire of 100 copies of the complete works of Shakespeare. I bet it would sell in the US like hotcakes.

2. The untimely death of Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

Felix Mendelssohn was a German composer with the genius of Mozart and the passion of Beethoven. He died at age 38 from a series of strokes. You need to hear his Violin Concerto in e Minor and his overture, "The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave)." The world would have been a better place if he had been around to continue is work; now we can only imagine what he might have written.

3. Any Classical Music With Nature Sounds In the Background

Seriously, what is with these? Why do people want to imagine themselves on the beach with a full orchestra playing some hideously boring rendition of Pachelbel's Canon? (Aside - there's a gigue that goes with the canon that nobody ever plays and is actually way cool. Poor Pachelbel.) Regardless, I do NOT want seagulls shitting on my Bach, thank you very much.

4. Celine Dion

On behalf of all of Canada: Sorry about that.

5. Phil Collins - You Can't Hurry Love

Phil, with more reverb than is legal in 38 states, makes a soulless, synthetic reprise of this outstanding Motown classic. Tacky as a plastic couch cover and about as comfortable.
