Bateman had pretty interesting taste in music actually. He would have made a good music critic.
The most boring and simple response anyone can have to American Psycho - even more than "it is America itself that is psychopathic DO YOU SEE!?!" - is "ha ha lol Huey Lewis & the News suck".
OTM as they say
although saying genesis and phil collins were funkier than michael jackson or prince was a bit ridiculous! i do really love the parts where he talks about his favourite music though. if only because he is so passionate. im not sure what brett easton ellis' own thoughts are on genesis or huey lewis (it does seem like hes kinda arguing against himself in the parts on them and phil collins) but he did say he was a punk fan when i saw him reading from lunar park a few years back.
