Maybe you should try it before you knock it. I'm not saying that hours spent on gaming could easily be spent better elsewhere...much like TV watching or cruising the internet...but that this game is a) fun and b) effortless in comparison to learning to play an instrument, or rather, in comparison to getting you and all your friends to learn to play instruments.

You do....like music, right?

Do you have CC&Rs? That's a great game.

Not that hard. Certainly no harder than living with a real woman as opposed to a love doll.

I'm somewhere between Alex and the rest of y'all on this, and probably closer to Alex. I like to play it. I like to dance to it. I'm basically a word guy, so if I'm going to listen to it, it has to be something where I can understand the lyrics. That said, the current crop of female vocalists droning on in dizzy voices about mundane relationship details leaves me very cold.

I recognize it's probably a bit of a character flaw. I just can't get into the self-surrender that seems to be called for to be a music fan as opposed to a fan of any other art form.
