Thank you, Steve. "Benevolence begins and ends in my imagination." Perfect.

Again an example how trolling has become a legitimate form of criticism

Toto is a band that was formed by a group of L.A. studio musicians. They have so many other songs that are so much better than this one.

Except for the part where everything he says is accurate.

Was hoping this would be funny. But it's just smug and ironically not as well written as the song he's deconstructing. A hipster sermon for a cynical and sycophantic audience that would have laughed no matter what the song.

Shut up, asshole. Nobody cares about what you have to say. Nobody has EVER cared about what you have to say.
