I can't believe that this guy, who copies everything from other artists, and produces nothing original, is Number Two on Time magazine's most influential list.

P.S. Sorry about the above gotthisguitar style.


Rain is actually the perfect musician for the list. Seeing like most of pop music is totally unoriginal, then Rain who is basically a composite of all sorts of musicians may be the best candidate for #1 from music.

I think we need to go about this differently. We need to vote for people who are not far behind Rain, but who have relatively few votes. I saw that Matt Groening is around 71 but has less than 4000 votes, so if a dozen of voted him 100 points, his average would change more than voting for or against someone who already had over 100,000 votes. We need chose a person with few votes whose average we can actually influence. By the way, when is this all final?

Wouldn't it be funny if Time would throw out at the last minute all the votes for 1 and 100%?
