I have kind of a complicated case and am wondering how this would work in rails:

I want to categories the genres of some singers. Singers can belong to more than one genres, and users can assign tags to each genre

For example: singers <-- singers_genres --> genres <-- genres_tags --> tags

SQL would look something like: SELECT * FROM singers S INNER JOIN singers_genres SG ON S.id=SG.singer_id INNER JOIN genres G ON G.id = SG.genre_id LEFT OUTER JOIN genre_tags GT ON G.id = GT.genre_id INNER JOIN tags T ON GT.tag_id = T.id
