Inquiry:

What's the statute of limitations on songs you should hate but love anyway? In other words, how long before nostalgia becomes an acceptable factor/excuse?

I have a copy of "My Heart Will Go On" complete with clips of dialogue from Titanic. The movie came out when I was fourteen, and I saw it for the first time when I was fifteen (for my birthday!). I am now twenty-six. Is it okay to admit that, due to fond associations, I love the song and always will, or should I keep my mouth shut on the subject for a while longer? What about Ricky Martin's "La Vida Loca," which came out when I was roughly sixteen? When does it become okay to embrace songs (or other forms of media) that become victims of tremendous backlash?

Yes, there's a second one. Mostly it was an attempt to cash in on megafans, which I totally fell for. Without actually diving into my CD collection, I recall that it contains secondary tracks like a performance of "Come Josephine on Your Flying Machine," and suchlike.

I may someday download the movie. By which I mean purchase it legally, of course. *nods* But Rose would fit really well into Milliways, post-Titanic. *ponders*
