"4. What song would you say sums you up?
Sorry, i dont know what you meant by "sums you up"."

Very accurately represents you. Contains all (or most) of the parts that make you (as 1, 2 and 3 "sum up" to 6).

"24. What was your last musical "phase" before you wisened up?
what?"

What genre or band or album did you really like in the past, but now can not stand? You look back at it and can't understand how you used to like it.

"29. What record/CD have you almost worn out?
again dont knows what "worm out" means."

Worn out means used so much that accumulated damage from even normal use makes it now unusable. In the case of a CD, it has become scratched and scuffed to the point where a CD player can no longer read the data off of it.

Less than $1 US.

No idea.

29. What record/CD have you almost worn out?

30. What song would you say is your all time favorite?
It would do great disservice to any excellent song not selected, so I refuse to make a choice.

Eminem. I love the sound of his music, but I have no respect for his message.

From that perspective, I guess I understand the question now. I don't think an "active listener" like myself can answer the question though. If I don't like it I'm not listening.

22. Don't try to pretend you don't!
It is just plain stupid to assume that everyone likes Journey.

That was supposed to be a tad bit of humour, Mr. Fisher.
