It's just ignorance based upon media hype.

It depends on what one expects from the lunch.
Your friends probably want some superstar or just someone pretty/handsome to flirt.
If wishes of you all came true, they would have nice experience for last month and you would have memories for rest of your life.

Many people around me prefer dance music and I was in similar situation many times. (by the way some LC´s songs are great for dance)
Majority qualified me as a stranger. But I don´t mind. I even found out that I like being against the mainstream.

what a nice realization, anne-marie!
for some time now i thought lc would be mainstream meanwhile, seeing that so many people know him and love his works. but hearing your experiences changes this opinion, and i'm happy about it.
i was on my best way to become one of those mainstream-opinions, mainstream-thoughts, mainstream-dreams-person; in my early schoolyears i was among the loudest and most social children in class.
but then my parents got divorced, and i got calm, shy, unsure. that was when i discovered lc's work. it helped me such a lot, i realised the diversity of life and the good things that can be found in calmness and thoughtfulness. over the years, i gained more self-confidence, i have learned again to talk to people and to get active. but i never felt any need to catch up with the "mainstream", i rather stay in this world where i am now. and i also understand now the problems of those people who get caught in their lack of selfsureness - usually they are just made fun of by the others, but it would be so much better to help them.
