If you try to do that in pop music - to play only rare show tunes, for example - people don't come.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.

I think Norah Jones is a perfect example. Here's somebody who was playing the music she wanted to play and did it with some conviction, and it happened to be at a moment in time when there was a highly receptive audience for that kind of music.

Disco is just pop music you can dance to.

I do love brash pop music. It's fun.

I have an unabashed adoration of cheesy pop music.
