If you like my music, we can be friends?

now, this is why i'm so vehement in my skeptecism about your supposed intellect. your mensa this and 'my students' that. If you were really gifted....forget about 170s, you'd have gotten that quip.

can anyone else explain that correlation to him? I don't want to assume that everyone gets it.....but I hafta think at least some of you do.

Eh. My really close (as in, if I knew I had 20 minutes to live I would call them) friends and I don't necessarily have tastes in common -- we turn each other on to new stuff and sometimes make fun of each other for liking certain bands/movies/tv shows. I like to hear about the different and sometimes (from my POV) wacky stuff that other people are interested in.

On the other hand, as a person with a day job, I get a lot of my socializing at nighclubs and concerts -- meaning that a lot of the people I socialize with like the same kinds of music I like, or they wouldn't be there. Some of the people I've met at these events get to be friends, either of the close variety or (more likely) just people I see around sometimes and stop to have a drink with. Sure, I have met people who agree with me about music but are total assholes otherwise (including one of the best DJs I have ever heard, who is a giant cock in my not-so-humble opinion), but I have also met people through music who turn out to be worthwhile to hang out with in other ways -- just like meeting people through any other interest or hobby.

The Urban Dictionary, while having numerous entries on the topic, is of absolutely no help here.
