Only tangentially related, I keep forgetting to tell you that I bought College Dropout last weekend. *g* It is very, very shiny. Thank you for all the ways in which you make my world better.
I know there have been vids where I had serious allergic reactions to the song on first hearing, most often when it is off-key and I don't know the song. After you hear it a few times, you get used to a singer being off-key, and you can anticipate it. But the first time, ow. This is not a hate thing, but exactly the same reaction I have to vids with white flashes that cause instant migraine. Just, pain. "Rook" is one that always stands out for me on that count. The first time I heard it, it was agonizing, but I came to love that vid to pieces later.
