I am one hour in, this is the music that created so many musical cliches.
It bothers me the singing is so loud, but then, it's a performance and the people in the back rows have to hear too.
Modern me likes performances to be naturalistic.

Slapped my face a bit this morning and sat down for a bit to look at cars again before a friend comes to pick me up for lunch.
Can someone who knows about cars explain why there's so many bloody SUVs in the sub-$15,000 category compared to hatchbacks and sedans? Why would they be priced so low when they generally have better comfort and features and space? They don't necessarily have that many more kms than comparable smaller cars. Do they cost more to service or something...
SUVs aren't as well made, have fewer passenger safety features
