} It's strictly due to apparent self-confidence, which is the _only_ thing
} that a man needs to attract a woman, and almost as important as beauty
} in a woman for attracting a man. Look, it requires a vast amount of
} self- confidence to get up on a rock-concert stage and howl incoherent
} rubbish to third-rate music -- one would expect that the normal reaction
} to such a thing would be volleys of rotten vegetables and buckets of
} slightly aged shit. Similarly it requires incredible _chutzpah_ to sell
} honest, hard- working folk a lot of noise under the name of music. Any
} day now the world in general might see through these frauds, and they
} damned well know it, and nevertheless they go on, because they know that
} they are effectively in power. Power is sexy, and rock stars reek of
} power.

} The Oracle disagrees that these vermin have a _reproductive_ advantage.
} A _sexual_ one, certainly, but they are often sterile or impotent or
} both from abusing their bodies with drugs. The female ones get
} abortions until their bodies automatically miscarry. One would hope
} that the breed of rock star will die out, but the pool of rock-star
} genes in the general population is large, and the rock stars that become
} famous enough to be barren are relatively few in number, so that these
} noisome, ugly creatures with howling voices and minimal talent will be
} with us indefinitely
}
} The Oracle knows that you disagree with Its opinions on rock music, but
} you must agree that Its basic idea is correct. Any kid who resembled
} Michael Jackson or Prince and went to a normal high school in an
} industrial town in the Midwest would be called a ``faggot'' by his peers
} and beaten up several times a day, but there's something attractive to
} women in a man who can get away with it in the Real World.
