    I wonder if anyone anywere actually thinks Beethoven’s 9th is bad . But that’s not the point is it. I can link you plenty of music that was absolutely lambasted and despised when i…

    There’s plenty of people who use good toupees/wigs and are open about it (or went bald and saved their hair with mystery medicine). I’m sure if models can now produce amazing ficti…
