Ideas: Ability to block or mute artist/songs/genres

[bjoyce2]

New Feature Idea: Create Rules about what bands you never want to hear.  If I select a Genre but there are certain bands I never want to hear, there should be a way to create a rule. i.e. I select the 70's Rock Genre but I never want to hear any music from Sting, Rush, Styx, Journey, Kiss, etc.  then allow me to create a rule eliminating them fron the selection algorithm.

I'd be more impressed with people citing the Bhagavad Gita...

[I_A]

I can't cite it but Arjuna stomps the **ahem** out of his family and Krishna
stops time to encourage him and keep him from changing his mind. Unless you
want the child friendly interpretation: Don't allow anything, not even your
family, separate you from Divine Being.

I would've been impressed with you if you had never sent me an obnoxious
email, at all. Hinting around that if God isn't on my side, I'll answer to
my **ahem** for brains family, whether I want to or not? Taking time to
respond, aside, do you want to turn Rainbow Bright into a religion? That
might be something you can peddle.

agree, Marilyn Manson is also among those i would prefer to not support in any fashion.

[I_A]

I've sent so many emails between now and then, including emails outside of
Pandora, that I don't remember exactly what I said about Marilyn Manson and
possibly Rose McGowan. I'm certain it was something snide and sarcastic and
hateful. I've gotten so much better at that, these days. Basically, his
stage persona is shock value. I've watched several interviews and do find
him to make intelligent comments. He can be insensitive to people outside
of his own thinking and my local Aunt Molly club HATES him (always a
compliment as far as I'm concerned). I wouldn't want to look like that but
he's the one with a successful career and I mooch off of a disability
check. So, who am I to say, really? I've got to argue with the
psychiatrists over remembering my own name. Especially, when I remember my
name. So, like, as if, and stuff. Who's going to take me seriously?

you write like you are an AI bot, but in the nature of my initial request I'll take the bait. hopefully it will at least get this request some traction.

I used to be a fan of his music and persona, but the evidence that he is a sex trafficking abuser of women and groomer of girls is overwhelming. I believe he like so many others is abusing his status and wealth to harm others and I do not want to provide him any of my time/money to do so.
