If you like my music, we can be friends?

Of course hating someone for their tastes is stupidity, but commonality is important because it's a very quick way to make a small bond to work from. I admit that when I see someone wearing a Lions shirt at the gym, I'm more prone to look on them in a better light. It's just a natural social bonding thing, probably stemming from some evolutionary imperative. Maybe when we were monkeys all the Lions fans banded together to protect themselves from the Bears... pun intended. But you're right Dana, it shouldn't preclude having friends outside of your normal personality type.
