Whoa there, Dr. Ross. I don't recall mentioning anything about irony, faked
sensations, or artistic rubbish. All I said was that I don't like the song
or Peggy Lee's voice, and I mentioned its kitsch appeal (which I think is
undeniable). I've been known to rail against ironic detachment at the least
provocation, but this wasn't one of those instances, and I wasn't
commenting on your reaction to the song (about which I know nothing) at
all. Sheesh.
