I don't know how I feel about that You & Me. I had it on this weekend while I was cleaning. All the songs sound so similar. That Dylan croon really bugs me, too. I still feel the need to listen to it every once in a while.
Here's a few great articles on the subject:

next one's kind of off on a tangent, but important if you want to understand the environment this "debate" emerged from.

Why can't rich people just take their billions and leave us all alone? I guess it's no fun having ostentatious wealth if you can't flaunt it. So grozz.
"We live in a time in (and?) place where it doesn't matter if you're disgusting because if you have the cash..."
Time for a history lesson.
Time: Beginning of human civilization to present
Place: The World
Seriously? You guys are siding with tow truck companies? I don't know how they work in your town but as far as I know they are the bottom feeding scum of the earth. Last year I had to pick up my mom after her car was towed while she was at a Baseball game. She parked in front of an abandoned strip mall across the street from the stadium lot (which was full). About 30 other people were towed. No one saw the tow away zone sign at the other end of the lot. We hear from a cop directing traffic that this particular company does this during every game. It's a set up. Post a couple signs on the far end of a lot that always gets overflow from the stadium lot. After the National anthem, start cashing in. Towing companies in Florida will also tow cars from lots without any signs posted (illegal), but since you would have to take them to court to get your money back (and after court costs there won't be much left) most people don't bother.
So we go to pick up her car at this rotten impound lot. The office was some filthy mildew hole of a trailer and the "customer service" was some ex-con extra from Monster talking his probably equally rotten girlfriend through a DUI. Total bottom feeders, these guys.
My point is, asshole behavior begets asshole behavior. So what? Some "clever" prankster wants to take out some douchey revenge on the douchey towing company, and some poor girl working in the payment office has to deal people that are angry because they're being robbed. O woe is she. What a miserable plight, collecting money for a racket.
Sure, it sucks that this guy is my boyfriend. But you're totally into Loomis from ABC towing, and you're having his FAS baby.
Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin should be rounded up and dropped into an attention deprivation chamber. And by attention deprivation chamber I mean a well.
