In revisiting Fujiya & Miyagi I have found that Knickerbocker is still as polarizing as ever, people either love it or hate it.  I love it, so I used to play it just to bug some of my friends who didn't, and last week I played it on the show and received a similar reaction...  This week there's dance, there's grunge, and there's folk.
