Why do people still think "One Love" is a good song?

I was going to do a more general post on coffee shop music, which is irritating enough, but this is the one that really gets my goat. (If you say, "man, you sure are complaining about things that happen in coffee shops an awful lot," I will congratulate you on your perspicacity and point out that if you spend a lot of time in coffee shops and are generally misanthropic there will be a lot of coffee-shop-related gripes.)

"One Love." This song is not very good, people. Furthermore, it's older than I am. Bob Marley is dead. So is John Lennon, I hear you cry. Well, "Imagine" is not a good song either.

There's a lot of reggae on coffee shop mixes. I don't know why. Perhaps through the mistaken conviction that reggae is interesting. Maybe it was, oh, thirty years ago. Regatta de Blanc is a good album, and experimental. But playing "One Love" in 2007 does not make you interesting or edgy, it makes you boring and stagnant.

The sentiment is good, you argue. Yeah, sure. Insipid and mawkish, but probably good. That's nice. The sentiment behind "You and Me and the Bottle Makes Three" is not that good, but it's an interesting and enjoyable song.

I think people listen to "One Love" because it assuages some guilt they have--for being capitalists and not just hanging out, for being white and not having dreadlocks, for having complexes and not being able to love--which is fine, but I don't want to cater to your annoying foibles. Play me something that's not hackneyed and repetitive.
