I came across a funny post today at the Zionist'sgoldreport's weblog.
Obviously, the blogger stumbled across my own post (which is actually referenced at the bottom of that weblog page) and elected to put in his thoughtful two-cents worth.
Much appreciated!
Avid readers of my blog will recall that I had a run-in with Groban fans when I criticized his vocal stylings a few weeks ago, after the Los Angeles Times also noted that the waif-like minstrel-man was a tad "overrated".

Curiously, Groban's name and image have been poking their way into my consciousness once again in recent days, for some inexplicable reason.
At "Borders" last night - for instance (as I strolled up to the CD bank to listen to a tune or two) - there was a collection by Groban - Noel - on display up front.
Since a die-hard fan urged me to listen to this recording at the height of the Groban controversy - with the hope that the song stylings would change my scathing review - I was inclined to give the lad a chance.
However, when I plugged in the headphones and slipped them on my head, it was pretty obvious from the get-go that the CD installed was not the one warbled by Groban.
Fate, I guess.
Then, I came across the link for the Groban post at the zionist'sgoldreport, bright and early this morning.
If you're in the mood for a real hoot, here's how Groban fans are categorized by the astute blogger:

All Josh Groben comments will no longer be approved.
Opps Groban, Groban.
Hard to imagine how such a nice guy like Groban could have such ruthless and nasty fans.
I do hope he tires of you all and your fawning and pursues a serious muscial career in Opera or as a composer and lets hope he does not have the ‘disease’ and can marry a nice FEMALE opera star or pianist some day.
