Being a nerd isn't "uncool" anymore. The long running success of "The Big Bang Theory" is a strong pop culture indication of that. Long time Jeopardy host Alex Trebek apparently hasn't caught on. He recently criticized a contestant's taste in music, calling it's enthusiasts "losers." I've spent most of my adult life playing music on the radio. The years have taught me people's musical preferences are a very personal thing. There's a big identification factor. Slamming someone's favorite music is slamming that person. Not a good way to make friends. Susan Cole dismissed Trebek's comment as a joke. She got the last laugh. Susan won $22,000.
