    Thor is the ultimate con-artist. A middle-age savage posing as a God. To say I'm not crazy about him would be an understatement.

    James Patterson- I've tried to give his books a chance, but the characters and plots are underdeveloped and superficial. Adele- I have found it difficult to listen to her songs all the way through.

    I read an interview with Patterson in one of my writing magazines, and this may be because he no longer completely writes his own books. (Nobody can be THAT prolific, can they?) Anyway, if I remember correctly, he has files full of outlines and let's other writers develop them. Then he does the final touch up. It's quite profitable, and not unethical, but I wouldn't expect anything from the heart.

    I know he was actually quite bright and talented both artistically and technically, but Picasso never did much for me personally. The whole Cubism movement - just meh. Surrealism on the other hand... :-D

    Agree on Aerosmith too. Not a bad band per se, just never put much lead in my pencil, or some such.

    Led Zeppelin

    The Beatles

    The Rolling Stones

    Michael Jackson

    Led Zeppelin

    That bitch that wrote the Harry Potter abortions

    Barbara Streisand

    Paul McCartney (yeah I know but he deserves his own room in Hell)

    Led Zeppelin

    Jefferson Airplane/Starship (that whole "Built This City" bullshit negates any good music from the past)

    Styx

    Rush

    Led Zeppelin

    Andy Warhol's dumb ass

    Chicago (these assholes make me want to puke...and that's before they even start singing)

    Huey Lewis (the only good thing that Huey Lewis did was lend his name to Borat's large penised son)

    Led Zeppelin

    Brooks and Dunn

    Jodie Foster (boring)

    Abe Vigoda

    and finally...F*** Led Zeppelin. (John Bonham faked his own death because he realized how bad Led Zeppelin was)

    I read Nicholas Sparks once and I could barely finish it. No more. Shame too, because I like the genre when it's done well.

    James Patterson - absolute ghost writer dreck. Rawlins and Harry Potter - well there is something for everyone, I guess. Also, bored stiff with even hearing about the vampire fad in books and films.

    Led Zep.

    Picasso and most nist daubbers. See the movie - Basqiuat - gives you a great insight into the whole racket.

    I love Matisse and Cezanne. Seen originals in the museum and they glow!
