ben folds is a candy bar

so this morning i got hazed by a fourteen year old boy for liking ben folds.
maybe he's right.

but the same thing i like about ben folds is the same thing i like about candy.
simple sugar. little substance beyond pep.

really- what's wrong with bobbing your head to the tunes of a developmentally arrested piano player who still shoots in 35 mm black and white (which is hot. hot. hot).
