Sweetheart Disagreement

An old video of the old Shark Dentists line-up on YouTube has just passed 1,500 viewings. It was our version of Bob Dylan's wonderful song Sweetheart Like You.

The strange thing is not that a lot of people have watched it, or even that only two of them have bothered to comment. It's the comments themselves. One says: "Nice performance, guys." The other says: "Truly appalling."

Since the constant factor here is the video, it does seem the perfect illustration of the difference being in the person watching — and the baggage that this observer brings to the observation.

In the end, the observer is the observed... And there is no right or wrong...

And what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
