Guys Do Like CĂ©line Dion!

Today's New York Times posts some entertaining results from new poling that reflects the tastes of American radio listeners. (Yes, people still listen to the radio, doodliwinker!) It turns out that the skinny as a toothpick crooner from Canada is far more popular with young men than they've been willing to admit.

Both classical music and conservative talk radio lose points in the poling. Seems when folks self-report they like to proclaim they are either high brow or low brow, but when they are actually tracked electronically, the results turn out somewhat differently.

When interviewed, most men blame their feminine significant others for their choices. "I have to listen to what my wife wants to listen to on the commute." And then there's that noise they play in malls.

Self-reporting has always been highly suspect.
