If everybody jumped off a bridge...well, it wouldn't affect my social life too much...

Well, in my latest attempt to fill this journal with comment, I am resorting to what I hesitate to call a meme. I hesitate to call it that, not because it isn't a meme; it certainly is. But I'm worried that use of the word "meme" is being hijacked by LJers. ( In which I rant about a made-up word. How lame is that? )

filler, music

Close; I'd say the composer in question definitely has a close affinity for Adams' music, and given how you like Adams, you might like him as well. Also, the composer in question is about 15 years younger than Adams, who was 37 in 1984. But of course you knew that already. Duh ( ... )
