YOUR TURN

Everyone has an opinion. A few of us happen to get paid for it – which is pretty ridiculous when you think about it. It’s like being paid to chew your food before swallowing, and then expecting someone else to be impressed by the achievement. We entertainment critics here at 7 are not so deluded to think anyone actually cares about our reviews. We are not so pretentious to presume our opinions are sought-after beacons for how to best spend your disposable income. That’s why, when we infrequently hear from folks who disagree with our judgments, we infrequently care. We are the experts, after all. And even if we did give two squirts, with a nation of millions of bloggers constantly spewing their view of the world, who has time to read about someone else’s take on your favorite album? We are aware that the only opinion that matters is yours. So in honor of 7’s one-year anniversary, instead of us telling you what your opinions should be, we’re taking the day off and turning that job over to some folks whose observations are as meaningless as our own. The only thing we could think of that is less work than having an opinion is for someone else to have an opinion for us. And if you don’t agree, you’re wrong.
